  • Me and my sister are acquiring a three bed flat in Ravensthorpe which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancers 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 solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I'm looking for some help with regard to a lease extension on my flat. I'll be looking to do this in nine months time as we must move then.

You are able to recommend a good solicitors who specialises in lease extensions. Ideally based in Ravensthorpe?
  • We currently own a two bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Ravensthorpe and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has sixety two years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Ravensthorpe as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
