I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of funding the lease extension - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • We are acquiring a 2 bed flat in South Kensington which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor 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 conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property 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 until the new lease is registered?
  • I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in South Kensington. I live in the top flat.
