  • I am about to view a two bedroom maisonette, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 67 years left on the lease.

  • My fiance and I are are hoping to complete on a maisonette in Topsham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancers to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem 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 property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
