Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Lound or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Lound is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way.

Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I am looking at a two apartments in Lound both have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Lound is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the premises. The majority of buyers and banks, leases with under 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Lound conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
