  • I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a studio flat in Mitcheldean, where the lease is roughly 69 years but she was advised by the selling agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the vendor was waiting for her to appoint solicitors before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • I am looking to buy a one bed flat in Mitcheldean for asking price of 145k, which has 76 years lease left on it. I appreciate that ideally, the seller would start the process by serving a section 42 notice to start the lease extension process but the seller is refusing to assist.

  • My property lawyers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • My husband and I are buying a studio flat in Mitcheldean which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced extending the lease. The owner 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 house buying process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers 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 be patient pending registration of the new lease?
