Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Lytham St Annes. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Now that you have legally committed yourself to purchase you must hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the purchase.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Lytham St Annes is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

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 residence.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Lytham St Annes where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Lytham St Annes conveyancing firms. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I own a garden flat in Lytham St Annes, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Lytham St Annes with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2087
With only 62 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
