I inherited a a ground floor purpose built flat in Blackwall. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for a lease extension?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Blackwall residence is 12, 14 & 16 Hull Close in May 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold to the subject premises was the sum of £18,300 This case affected 3 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 101.61 years.
My mother completed her conveyancing in Blackwall in 2008. She has since got married, widowed and in recent months got married again. She intends to market the property in a few weeks. I suspect that she will simply be requested to provide a copy of her marriage certificates to the lawyer but she is anxious it will hold up the house move. Should she appoint a property lawyer to update the Land Registry details for the property?
You are not required to bring up to date the title for the property as long as you have the evidence needed to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
Any buyer’s property lawyer should check the land registry details and requisition evidence to establish the change of name for instance marriage certificates.
