  • After 5 months of pissing around, the vendor's suddenly offered to exchange next week, Monday in fact.

    But only today my solicitor actually sends me the lease. There's 2 leases, the original from 1978 and the extension from 2020.

    I asked my solicitor several times if this was a lease extension, they said it was just a registration, a formality. As thing's come to light I ask for clarification on the lease but never got an answer. Only now I discover it was extended by 90 years in December 2020 (from 82 years). I know the solicitor had the original lease as the checked a clause with me back in October.

    I don't know what to think anymore. I don't think I trust my solicitor.

    I know this feeling. It fucking sucks balls.

    Just make sure that you have a written trail everywhere and don't pay them till you have everything you need covered and clarified.
