  • Hello I am the freeholder interest in a one bedroom flat in Surrey Quays. The leaseholder has a seventy eight year lease and would like to purchase an additional 125 years. He is offering me £18,000 but I am unsure if this is a correct amount
  • I'm looking at purchasing a flat in Surrey Quays at a price of £256,000 the flat has something like 63 years left on the lease. My offer was subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in August, expecting I'd have moved in by now. The seller has just come back saying they'll knock £4k off if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
  • My fiance and I are acquiring a three bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Surrey Quays which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem 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 correct that we have to be patient until the new lease is registered?
