I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Barnes I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Barnes in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Barnes
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Barnes conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
Back In 2006, I bought a leasehold flat in Barnes. Conveyancing and Barnsley Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Barnes who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Barnes conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in Barnes. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to calculate the sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Barnes premises is 25 Petley Road in February 2010. The Tribunal determined that the price payable for the freehold of the subject premises should be £18,760. This case affected 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 156.6 years and 66.6 years.
