How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Arnside and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Arnside

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Arnside. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Arnside - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Arnside, conveyancing having been completed in 2012. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Arnside with a long lease are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2077

With just 51 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £30,400 and £35,200 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

At what point do I cover the costs of the Stamp Duty Land Tax chargeable for my purchase in Arnside?

The majority of solicitors tend to fill out a stamp duty return on your behalf as part of your Arnside purchase transaction for you to sign. After completion your lawyer will submit the STL application to the Tax Authorities and - as long as they have the funds - settle any tax bill liability for you.
