You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracing your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Hurworth I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hurworth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I own a leasehold flat in Hurworth. Conveyancing and The Mortgage Works mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Hurworth who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Hurworth conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I own a 2 bed flat in Hurworth, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Hurworth with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2094

You have 69 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
