I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Goring is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Goring are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Goring you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Goring may ascertain 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 property.

What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Goring conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Goring conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Goring conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:

    How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?

Leasehold Conveyancing in Goring - A selection of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing

    Is there a share of the freehold? Where a Goring lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease. Its a good idea to find out as much as possible regarding the company managing the building as they will either make your life much simpler or uncomfortable. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters such as the cleanliness of the common parts. Don't be afraid to ask other people if they are happy with them. On a final note, be sure you understand the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the relevant party and precisely what it includes.

At what point do I cover the costs of stamp duty due for my conveyancing in Goring?

The majority of lawyers will fill out a Land Transaction Return Form on your behalf as part of your Goring conveyancing transaction for signature. After completion your property lawyer will submit the Land Transaction application to the Tax Authorities and - assuming they have the funds - settle any Stamp Duty payable for you.
