What will a local search inform me about the property we're buying in Conisborough?

Conisborough conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations such as Searches UK The local search plays a central part in most Conisborough conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.

The deeds to my home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Conisborough 4 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Conisborough I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Conisborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Conisborough where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Conisborough conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Conisborough, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar properties in Conisborough with a long lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2092

With 67 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £10,500 and £12,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
