Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Fairbourne. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would given that all rents and service payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Fairbourne, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Fairbourne with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2092
With only 66 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues 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 before getting professional advice.
We are midway through buying a residence in Fairbourne. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the marketability of the property?
Fairbourne conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.
At the other extreme, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a significant impact on the saleability, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
