My wife and I own a renovated Georgian property in Crofton Park. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Crofton Park and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Crofton Park I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Crofton Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Crofton Park
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Crofton Park conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by HQ.
