Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Cuffley costs more?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Cuffley and Hertfordshire usually requires extra due diligence compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, liaising with the landlord concerning the service of appropriate notices, securing current service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.

Should our solicitor be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Cuffley.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Cuffley. Some people will buy a property in Cuffley, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Cuffley. The standard property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual inquiry of the seller to find out if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental report. This should disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Cuffley I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cuffley 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 the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
