We are mid sale and part of the process has involved extending the lease on our flat (it was approaching 82 years). This has been completed in part, but requires the completion of the sale for the leaseholder's name to be changed over and the length of the lease to be extended.
We have now received an email from our solicitors that the landlord is going to charge us a ridiculous amount of money if the sale does not complete within the next two weeks, having already paid them an extortionate amount for overpriced surveyors, solicitors etc ... It isn't going to complete in this time & the amount is probably going to mean I just quit the whole thing and go and live under the m25). Has anyone experienced something similar?
To sum leasehold is a stupid system and I hate it.
