Sample questions relating to St Anns Lease Extensions

  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just found out that it is leasehold. There are 928 years balance left so a lease extension is not required. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  • Me and my OH are purchasing a garden flat in St Anns which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers 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 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 correct that we must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
