I have instructed a Clayton-le-Moors lawyer having checked that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Clayton-le-Moors postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Clayton-le-Moors.

I own a semi-detached Edwardian house in Clayton-le-Moors. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Clayton-le-Moors and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Clayton-le-Moors I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Clayton-le-Moors suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Clayton-le-Moors - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Clayton-le-Moors Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    What is the service charge and ground rent on the apartment? You should be aware that where the lease has less than eighty years it will affect the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most Clayton-le-Moorslease extensions you will be be obliged to have owned the residence for 24 months in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. For most Clayton-le-Moors leaseholds the cost for major works are not built into the service charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Clayton-le-Moors require leasehold owners to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance.
