Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Desborough is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Desborough are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Desborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Desborough may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My business partner and I are intending to take over a lease of an office on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering no-move-no fees for non-domestic conveyancing in Desborough for less than 2k?

We are happy to recommend firms who have an in-depth of experience of commercial conveyancing in Desborough, including the disposal and purchase of businesses as well as simply property. If you are hoping to purchase or dispose of a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail premises or a whole business we will put you in touch with the right firm. Regarding the fees this will depend on the structure and nuances of the deal. Let us have your contact information or phone so as to enable us to provide you with comprehensive commercial conveyancing calculation.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Fifty years remaining on my lease in Desborough. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. In some cases a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Desborough.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Desborough, conveyancing formalities finalised November 2002. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Desborough with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2078

With 53 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
