  • We are purchasing a studio flat in Shepherd's Bush which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our 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 it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
  • My and my husband know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Would you recommend this course of action?
