I require fast conveyancing in Harbury as I am under a deadline to complete inside one month. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are are a mortgage free purchaser you are at liberty not to have searches conducted although no solicitor would advise that you don't.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Harbury?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Harbury. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Harbury both have in the region of fifty years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Harbury is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Harbury conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I bought a studio flat in Harbury, conveyancing having been completed in 1997. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Harbury with an extended lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2082
You have 57 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
