All being well we will complete the disposal of our £225,000 apartment in Darnall next week. The landlords agents has quoted £300 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Darnall?

Darnall conveyancing on leasehold flats more often than not requires the buyer’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions the majority will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it exceeds £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to complete the sale of your home.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Darnall - A selection of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    If a Darnall lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this will be. For most Darnalllease extensions you will need to own the residence for 24 months in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. Be sure to discover if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. By way of example it is reasonably common in Darnall leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Darnall. If you like the flatin Darnall yet your cat is not allowed to move with you then you will be faced hard choice. It is important to be aware if fixing the lift or some other significant cost is anticipated that will be shared amongst the leasehold owners and could well materially increase the the maintenance costs or necessitate a one off payment.

We are in the middle of purchasing a house in Darnall. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the title is "Leasehold". Does this make a difference on the salability of the house?

Darnall conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the marketability too much.

On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a significant impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your lawyer.
