  • Me and my fiance are acquiring a three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Otley which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our lawyers 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 property title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to be patient pending registration of the new lease?
  • We are hoping to acquire a flat (a one bedroom apartment located inOtley with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum ninety years balance left. We found a place we liked and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Today our solicitors informed us the lease only has sixety nine years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or do we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
