What makes a East Barming lease defective?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in East Barming. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
I purchased a ground floor flat in East Barming, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar properties in East Barming with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085
With only 61 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
Much to my surprise my conveyancer in East Barming has informed me that he requires identification documents stating that this is part of his obligations as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. Can this be correct?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the lender. This is not unique to conveyancing in East Barming
