Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Long Ashton with the intention of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Long Ashton can be avoided if you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers.
  • If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Obtaining a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy process and delays many a Long Ashton home move. If a reissued share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible. Some Long Ashton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual 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 service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Long Ashton state that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such works. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first.

I acquired a leasehold flat in Long Ashton, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Long Ashton with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2095

With 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My conveyancing in Long Ashton is set to complete on Friday, but the people I am purchasing off wants to move out on the Saturday PM. Do I agree to this?

Where you need a bank loan then your lawyer will require that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lending institution will demand it.
