Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Deepcar is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Deepcar and South Yorkshire usually requires more work compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes lease investigation, liaising with the landlord concerning the service of applicable notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’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 – no matter how many different owners have owned the lease since it was first granted.
We are hoping to buy a purpose built flat in Deepcar with a residential mortgage from Barclays .We use our Deepcar conveyancing lawyer but Barclays says his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Barclays panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that conveyancers will be on the Barclays solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Deepcar prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to give a loan on such a house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check via the relevant mortgage company.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Deepcar both have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Deepcar. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Deepcar, conveyancing was carried out in 2007. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Deepcar with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2084
With just 58 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
