How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Bankside and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to provides protection to business leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a new lease and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Bankside

Am I best advised to instruct a Bankside conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am buying? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal work but her office is 400miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Bankside conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Bankside know how is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were happy that should trump using an unfamiliar Bankside conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Bankside both have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?

There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Bankside is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. For most purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Bankside conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

We have reached the end of our tether in trying to purchase the freehold in Bankside. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Bankside conveyancing firm who can help.
