Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Greenhithe is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Greenhithe and elsewhere usually necessitates more due diligence compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes lease investigation, liaising with the landlord concerning serving required notices, securing current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Greenhithe I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Greenhithe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Greenhithe
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Greenhithe conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
I own a leasehold house in Greenhithe. Conveyancing and Accord Mortgages Ltd mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Greenhithe who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Greenhithe conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Greenhithe. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for a lease extension?

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Greenhithe flat is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case affected 13 flats. The unexpired term was 76 years.
I am an executor of my recently deceased mother’s Will, with a bungalow in Greenhithe which will be marketed. The house is unregistered at HMLR and I'm told that many buyers solicitors will insist that it is in place before they'll move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the situation that you have set out it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
