I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Broxbourne before retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a loan on this type of property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can investigate further via the relevant bank.

Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Broxbourne

It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Broxbourne conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Broxbourne with the aim of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Broxbourne can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives.
    • If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic as opposed to unsettled. Some Broxbourne leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is less than 75 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Broxbourne levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Broxbourne.

I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Broxbourne, conveyancing was carried out 7 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Broxbourne with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2084

You have 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £22,800 and £26,400 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement flat in Broxbourne.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and service charges should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
