What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Holloway conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Holloway conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with two or three firms including non Holloway conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
If they are not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? How many lease extensions have they carried out in Holloway in the last twenty four months?
I inherited a second floor flat in Holloway. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for the purchase of the freehold?
if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to decide the sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Holloway property is 51 Lorne Road in November 2009. The price Payable as decided by the tribunal for the freehold reversion was £27,000. The valuation follows the order of the County Court made on 3 April 2008 granting a vesting order. This case related to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 71 years.
