Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton

The vendors of the home we are hoping to buy hired a conveyancing firm in Lymm and Warburton who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?

There are a couple of primary drawbacks with signing a lock out agreement (occasionally referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not particularly popular amongst Lymm and Warburton conveyancing solicitors for this reason. A further concern is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer should not expect to secure injunctive relief to prohibit the owner disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the recovery of wasted costs and, in rare scenarios, the extra payment of penalties.

My colleague recommended that where I am purchasing in Lymm and Warburton I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

This is a search is sometimes included in the estimate for your Lymm and Warburton conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Lymm and Warburton around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Lymm and Warburton.

I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Lymm and Warburton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Lymm and Warburton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Lymm and Warburton is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Lymm and Warburton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lymm and Warburton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lymm and Warburton may determine 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.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Sixty One years remaining on my flat in Lymm and Warburton. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What should I do?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the lessor. In some cases an enquiry agent should be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Lymm and Warburton.

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Lymm and Warburton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Lymm and Warburton with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2080

You have 55 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
