We're in Eastwood, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Kent Reliance , and our lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not.

The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Eastwood registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am looking at a two apartments in Eastwood both have about fifty years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in Eastwood. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Eastwood - A selection of Questions you should consider Prior to buying

    Please note if it is less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for a couple of years before you are entitled to exercise a lease extension. The majority of Eastwood leasehold flats will have a service charge for maintenance of the building invoiced on behalf of the landlord. Where you purchase the property you will have to pay this contribution, usually periodically throughout the year. This can vary from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common grounds. In all likelihood there will be a rentcharge for you to pay annual, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say around £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it can be prohibitively expensive. It is important to be aware if window replacement or some other major work is pending to be shared by the tenants and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or result in a one off payment.
