Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Blackwood is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Blackwood are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Blackwood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Blackwood 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 property.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Blackwood where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Blackwood conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to 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 has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 purchaser.

In the main the cost for major works tend not to be wrapped into the service charges, although some managing agents in Blackwood require leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major works. Please note that where the lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. For most Blackwoodlease extensions you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are eligible to exercise a lease extension. You should want to discover as much as possible about the company managing the building as they can either make your living at the property much easier or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day matters like the tidiness of the common parts. Enquire of prospective neighbours what they think of their service. On a final note, be sure you discover the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the managing agents and specifically what it includes.
