  • My partner and I are acquiring a one bedroom apartment in Sparkhill which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our to do OS1 search on the property title. 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 property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • My OH and I are hoping to buy a property (a ground floor flat located inSparkhill with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum 83 years left. We came across a flat we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Today our advised us the lease only has sixety years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should 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?
  • We know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the landlord was reasonable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of not having formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation charges. Would you suggest this course of action?
