We are currently buying our first flat - mortgage etc approved so all is now with the solicitors moving towards exchange. Our solicitor updated us today saying she was still waiting for responses to various enquiries, one of which is a defect in the lease needing to be rectified by the freeholders. The defect is that the lease has been extended, but previous to that it was altered to include a few clauses. When the lease was extended, no mention would made of these alterations and so they don't apply. Solicitor says they are having this 'rectified'.
Any thoughts? Is this going to be a major stumbling block? Am 35 weeks pregnant and emotional so I am finding this whole process stressy. Our lease ends on our current flat at the end of April and we can't stay any longer than that so we are up against it time wise.
