  • I am about to view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 65 years unexpired on the lease.

  • My partner and I are are hoping to complete on a maisonette in Langham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our property lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • We currently own a garden flat in Langham and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
