Examples of recent questions relating to Lease Extensions in Leconfield

  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs. I do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?

  • We are purchasing a three bed flat in Leconfield which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our conveyancers to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
