I am hoping to move into my new home in Geddington next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else.

Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the number one reason for hinderance in Geddington house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Geddington.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Geddington I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Geddington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Geddington with the intention of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Geddington can be reduced where you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ representatives.
    • Many landlords or Management Companies in Geddington charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Geddington. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check via your solicitors. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. A minority of Geddington leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should make sure that you hold the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Geddington home move. Where a reissued share is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this at the earliest opportunity.

I acquired a leasehold flat in Geddington, conveyancing was carried out 9 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Geddington with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2092

You have 66 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £11,400 and £13,200 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. 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 based on this information before getting professional advice.
