  • My partner and I are purchasing a ground floor flat in Upper Tooting 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 seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect 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 lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • I own the freehold to two flats. Someone has the lease on the ground flat in Upper Tooting. I live in the upper flat.

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Upper Tooting and a leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My surveyor has recommended a much higher figure. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting 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?
