I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Kington. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Kington, conveyancing having been completed December 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Kington with a long lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2076
With 50 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
