I want to rent out my leasehold flat in Coombe Warren. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Coombe Warren do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Coombe Warren. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Coombe Warren flat is 29 Woodstock Road in April 2014. the Tribunal determined that the premiums to be paid into court in respect of the purchase of the freehold registered at HMLR under Title N0.SY3997 should be £7,217. This case related to 4 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 98 years.
I am in the process of buying my first house in Coombe Warren. Conveyancing solicitor has been chosen. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not necessary as the house was only constructed 16 yrs ago.
The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was built over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be enough. They will highlight any apparent issues and suggest further investigation where relevant. If there are any indications of problems obtain a comprehensive structural survey.
