Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Astley is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Astley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Astley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Astley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Astley
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Astley conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
I work for a reputable estate agency in Astley where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Astley conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I purchased a basement flat in Astley, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Astley with a long lease are worth £196,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2089
With only 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £15,200 and £17,600 as well as legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My in 2005. He has got wed, widowed and in recent months got married again. He now wishes to the sell the Astley property. I think he will just be asked to provide a copy of his marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner however he is anxious it will frustrate the conveyancing. Is it worth updating the land title documents for the house?
You are not required to bring up to date the register as long as you have the evidence needed to show how the change of name resulted.
Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner should review the title information and requisition evidence to prove the name change for example marriage certificates.
