  • Me and my fiance are are hoping to complete on a one bedroom apartment in Newbridge which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer 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 lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem 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 correct that we have to wait pending registration of the new lease?
  • I have a lease of 68 years remaining on my flat in Newbridge. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
