  • My fiance and I are purchasing a maisonette in Thames Ditton which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern 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 has not been issued. Is it correct that we must hold on until the new lease is registered?

Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to incur?
