We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

  • Me and my OH are are hoping to complete on a studio flat in Whaley Bridge which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the property title. The concern 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 is not known. Is it correct that we have to be patient until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • I am concerned about obtaining a lease extension from a difficult freeholder. Notwithstanding that the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still tried to get ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every twenty five years of the new lease. Can you help?
