I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Darton I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Darton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Darton
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Darton conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Darton. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to find the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and prepare a report to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Darton.
