I have todaybecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Charmouth for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Charmouth conveyancing specialists.

I own a leasehold flat in Charmouth. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have been told that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to fall too short. Is this right?

Charmouth residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - normally just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Charmouth were constructed or converted 25 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than eighty years left to run. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have at least 75 years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to 75 years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to increase.
