I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Cheetham Hill I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Cheetham Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I have been pointed in your direction by a couple of local estate agents in Cheetham Hill to select a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site over another?
We refuse to offer any commission for directing people our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Cheetham Hill what are the most common lease problems?
Leasehold conveyancing in Cheetham Hill is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property Insurance obligations
You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Barclays , Bank of Scotland, and Barclays Direct all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to pull out.
I bought a leasehold flat in Cheetham Hill, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Cheetham Hill with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2086
You have 61 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £19,000 and £22,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
