St Helier Lease Extensions: Q and A’s

I have been in touch with my freeholder for a lease extension for my flat in St Helier. His lawyers has been in contact regarding charges etc. I need a ball park figure for dealing with the legalities to secure a lease extension. The property currently has a 99 YR lease which started April 1985.

I'm looking for an apartment to purchase in St Helier and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold title. I've found a maisonette I like with a 90 years lease. My research reveals that I can get a lease extension having owned the property for a couple of years, but:- Is this a given?

I am about to view a one bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 74 years balance left on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm assuming that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My main concern is would the short lease make it difficult to secure a mortgage?

We are acquiring a one bedroom second floor purpose built flat in St Helier 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 seller’s lawyer 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 solicitors 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 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 hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
