My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Kendal
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Kendal conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
I own a leasehold flat in Kendal. Conveyancing was completed in 2011. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too low. What is the reasoning?
Kendal residential long term leases are for a fixed period - often 99 years when they are first granted. However a significant flats in Kendal were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under eighty years unexpired. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally need leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to seventy five years. To optimize the marketability of your property you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Please note that there are significant benefits to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to increase.
