  • We are acquiring a two bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Stoke Poges which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced 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 property lawyers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers 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 wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I am the freeholder of a property in Stoke Poges and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has upped this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has suggested a much higher premium. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
