It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Langstone. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Langstone involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Langstone I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Langstone suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Should I appoint a Langstone conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can conduct the conveyancing however they are based over three hundred kilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Langstone conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Langstone conveyancing lawyer just because they are Langstone based.
Last October I purchased a leasehold property in Langstone. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
