  • My wife and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our garden flat in Sturminster Newton. We have a seventy year lease and we wish to increase this to 99. The Freeholder has supplied us with a premium amount that she is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed.

  • We are purchasing a ground floor flat in Sturminster Newton which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of 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 house buying process is for our conveyancers to do a pre-completion 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 lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I'm looking for some help concerning extending the lease on my flat. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move then.

Can you recommend a good property lawyers with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally nearby in Sturminster Newton?
  • We currently own a maisonette in Sturminster Newton and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 74 years left.

Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
