Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ireleth and Askam is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Ireleth and Askam. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Ireleth and Askam

We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Ireleth and Askam conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets set by HQ.

I am looking at a two apartments in Ireleth and Askam both have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Ireleth and Askam is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the value of the property. The majority of purchasers and lenders, leases with under 75 years become less and less attractive. 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 property 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 premises 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 Ireleth and Askam 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. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. 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.

You have 60 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £20,000 and £23,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
