I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must leave my rented flat in Colerne by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Colerne is more expensive?

I'm purchasing a new build house in Colerne with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Colerne with the aim of saving time on the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Colerne can be reduced where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ conveyancers.
  • The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Colerne levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Colerne. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy formality and slows down many a Colerne home move. Where a duplicate share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing.

I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Colerne, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Colerne with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2079

With 54 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 plus professional fees.

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 comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
