I am purchasing my first flat in Lake with a mortgage from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Lake is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Lake are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Lake you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lake may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
As co-executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a house in Neath but reside in Lake. My solicitor (based 300 kilometers from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising.

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Lake based
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Lake from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lake can be bypassed if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Lake leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such works. If you fail to have the approvals in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance. A minority of Lake leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your lawyers. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is below 80 years. It is therefore essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Lake levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Lake.
I inherited a garden flat in Lake, conveyancing was carried out 5 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Lake with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2103
With only 77 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
