If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Friern Barnet you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Friern Barnet which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

I am the proprietor of a ground flat in Friern Barnet. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for the purchase of the freehold?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the price.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Friern Barnet flat is 34 Poplar Grove in June 2013. The Tribunal directed that the premium for the lease extension should be in the sum of £10,250. This case was in relation to 1 flat.
