The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial tenants, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Hailsham

Looking forward to exchange soon on a leasehold property in Hailsham. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they are sending me a report within the next couple of days. What should I be looking out for?

The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Hailsham should include some of the following:

    Are pets allowed in the flat? Ground rent - how much and what the invoice dates are, and be on notice if this is subject to change if lease provides for a reserve fund for major works? Repair and maintenance of the premises Where does the liability rest for maintaining the window frames

I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Hailsham, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Hailsham with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2092

With only 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

I am searching for Hailsham online conveyancing estimates. Can I be confident that all the Hailsham law firms that are identified on your directory are on the lender conveyancing panel?

The law firms on our directory have advised us that they are on the bank panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Hailsham conveyancing solicitor being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
