I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Kilgetty I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Kilgetty suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Kilgetty from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Kilgetty can be reduced where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. Many landlords or managing agents in Kilgetty charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Kilgetty. If you hold a share in a the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming process and frustrates many a Kilgetty conveyancing deal. Where a duplicate share is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Kilgetty leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. If you dont have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer before hand. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.
I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Kilgetty, conveyancing having been completed in 1999. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Kilgetty with a long lease are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
With 57 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations.
