  • We are purchasing a maisonette in Mortlake which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the lease. 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 property title number is not known. Is it correct that we must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • We know that others in the same block previously had a lease extension, and the landlord was amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you suggest this course of action?
