  • We are buying a three bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Kirkstall which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do a "priority search" on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • My daughter is concerned about seeking a lease extension from tricky freeholder. Regardless of the fact that the legal procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to charge ground rent of £200 increasing by 100% every 25 years of the new lease. Can you help?
  • I know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder was reasonable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend such a course of action?
