  • Me and my sister are acquiring a garden flat in Tamworth which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our 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 it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • We are hoping to purchase a flat (a one bedroom apartment inTamworth with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least ninety years unexpired. We came across a flat we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our told us the lease only has 77 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or do we negotiate our offer?
