Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Englefield Green. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Englefield Green - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a garden flat in Englefield Green, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2010. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Englefield Green with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2091
With 66 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £11,400 and £13,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account 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.
My offer on detached house in Englefield Green has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Englefield Green. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is standard to have apprehensions where there is a chain given your reluctance to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Englefield Green conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Skipton approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.
