My offer was conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in June, expecting I'd have moved in by Christmas.

  • We are are hoping to complete on a garden flat in Leeds which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my maisonette in Leeds. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
