Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Albany Park

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Albany Park costs more?

Albany Park leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

My wife and I purchased a renovated Edwardian property in Albany Park. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Skipton Building Society to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Albany Park and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Albany Park I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Albany Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Am I better off to choose a Albany Park conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can perform the conveyancing but his firm is located 400kilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Albany Park conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were happy that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Albany Park conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Albany Park based.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing.

It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer will report to you on the legal implications.

Where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the premium.

An example of a Vesting Order and Purchase of freehold decision for a Albany Park premises is Ground Floor Flat 4A Baronet Road in February 2010. Following a vesting order by Edmonton County Court on 23rd December 2008 (case number 8ED064) the Tribunal decided that the price that the Applicant for the freehold interest should pay is £8,689.00 This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired term was 80.01 years.
