Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Blackpool I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Blackpool for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Blackpool
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Blackpool conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Blackpool. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Blackpool - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a garden flat in Blackpool, conveyancing was carried out September 1996. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Blackpool with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2088
With just 63 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should 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 clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
