Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bartley Green is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Bartley Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bartley Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bartley Green may determine 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 premises.
I work for a reputable estate agency in Bartley Green where we see a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Bartley Green conveyancing firms. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is 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 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 inherited a split level flat in Bartley Green, conveyancing was carried out April 1997. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Bartley Green with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2106
With only 80 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
