I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in Holsworthy. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Holsworthy and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Holsworthy
It is improbable the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Holsworthy conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to be perfect, at a great price which is making it all the more appealing. I have since discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Holsworthy. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Holsworthy ?
Most houses in Holsworthy are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Holsworthy in which case you should be shopping around for a Holsworthy conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your conveyancer should advise you fully on all the issues.
I purchased a leasehold flat in Holsworthy, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2006. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Holsworthy with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2095
With only 69 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I'm buying a house in Holsworthy. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my lawyer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
