I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Barnes Cray. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I am the proprietor of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Barnes Cray. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for the purchase of the freehold?

Where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Barnes Cray property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 76 years.

The property lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Barnes Cray has sent documents to review that reveal that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all houses in Barnes Cray should be registered?

Although most properties in Barnes Cray are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Barnes Cray that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Barnes Cray property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Barnes Cray conveyancing solicitors should be familiar with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty prevails the prevailing advice these days appears to be for the vendor’s solicitor to register the title first and subsequently sell - this will have a knock on effect to cause a significant delay.
