hey boss.
not heard owt since we pinged back an email to our solicitors asking the sellers solicitors #wtafigo
we're quietly confident it's all a big miscommunication and that the intention was always to sell us the freehold along with the leasehold. Apparently the titles can be merged which our solicitors have offered to do at no extra cost should this be the case.
Our solicitors, whilst not the cheapest on the block, have been a fucking delight to deal with. worth every penny.
there are shit hot posters on this very thread that have an actual understanding of this process.

it's all a bit second hand info at the mo (mrs hell is the trouser wearer in these matters) but from what i can gather we're asking if they (le seller) will sell both titles (?) in order to salvage the deal - If so they will treat this as a freehold purchase and merge the two titles on completion at the Land Registry so that we hold a freehold house. There will not be an additional charge in this respect.
@Butternut-Squash understands this far better than i do, frankly he (she?) should charge more.
