My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Badsey
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Badsey conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by HQ.
I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Badsey where we have witnessed a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Badsey conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 purchaser.
I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Badsey, conveyancing having been completed October 1997. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Badsey with a long lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079
With only 54 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
