Our solicitor believes the lease of the 2 garages should not be referred to in the coach house title deeds, as they do not belong to the property.
Seems strange!
Has your solicitor seen the deeds, and realises that the property is a coach house over the garages?
As opposed to you describing the property to your solicitor - which the solicitor may have misunderstood?
Or have you chosen a low-cost, fixed-price solicitor, who will only do simple/standard 'conveyor-belt' conveyancing?The lease agreement for the 2 garages is in the name of the original builders, not the current owner of the coach house.
That sounds correct.
When somebody buys a lease - they are buying the original lease - no new lease is being created.0 -
I can't see how they couldn't be referred to - you're presumably expecting to buy the freehold of the whole building, under exception of the leasehold interest in the garages.Our solicitor believes the lease of the 2 garages should not be referred to in the coach house title deeds, as they do not belong to the property.
Do you have any more detail on why? Perhaps something has been lost in translation.We are being advised not to proceed with the purchase.0
