  • We are acquiring a ground floor flat in Port Talbot which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced extending the lease. 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 conveyancing process is for our property lawyers to do a "priority search" on the property title. 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 lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • My OH and I are in the throws of buying a flat (a garden flat inPort Talbot with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum ninety years residual lease term. We found a place we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our conveyancing practitioners told us the lease only has 61 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or should 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?
  • I have a lease of sixety nine years remaining on my flat in Port Talbot. 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?
