I own a freehold house in Booker yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in Booker and has limited impact for conveyancing in Booker but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 is to be extinguished.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Booker took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Monmouth but reside in Booker. My conveyancer (based 260 miles awayrequires that I execute a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Booker who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Booker based
I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Booker which have about 50 years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Booker. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
I inherited a studio flat in Booker, conveyancing having been completed January 1998. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Booker with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2088
You have 62 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. 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 considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My cousin is purchasing a basement flat in Booker. He has received an estimate by the solicitor recommended by the estate agents and it came to £1300 . It was seven years ago since I sold and bought a house and it cost was £just under six hundred pounds. Have costs really gone up that much?
You should visit two or three local Booker conveyancing solicitors requesting prices. It is advisable to base your choice not only on cost, but on promptness and on how comprehensive the response was.
