I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must be out of my rented apartment in Framlingham by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice for your lease unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they chase the owners side, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will aim to achieve

Any further balance that is due will be payable a few days ahead of the completion date.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Framlingham is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Framlingham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Framlingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Framlingham 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.
What makes a Framlingham lease unmortgageable?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Framlingham. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
You may have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Bank of Scotland, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
I own a ground floor flat in Framlingham, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Framlingham with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2100
With only 74 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
