Finally the sale completed on my house in Lynton last June but our buyer keeps calling every few hours complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

Following your sale your lawyer should forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Lynton with the intention of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lynton can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers.
    • You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the lease term is below 80 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat where a dispute is unsettled. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Lynton leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such works. If you fail to have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Lynton, conveyancing was carried out in 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Lynton with an extended lease are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2077

With only 51 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures 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. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

We are hoping to purchase a repossessed house in Lynton and the mortgagee in possession would like to complete inside 28 days. Can a solicitor meet that timeframe? Would it be better to use a local Lynton firm or an online firm that professes to offer speedy conveyancing?

Attend your Lynton shopping parade. Pop in to a couple of companies and ask to talk to a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Explain your requirements and try and obtain assurances on time frames. Appoint the one that comes across as most genuine. You need to select a property lawyer on the list of property lawyers who can act for your bank.
