I've read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Ormskirk solicitor - who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?
Nottingham will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nottingham will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your property lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ormskirk postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Ormskirk.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Ormskirk I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ormskirk suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Completion is due on the sale of our £225,000 flat in Ormskirk in six days. The management company has quoted £312 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Ormskirk?
Ormskirk conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally requires the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable charge for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.
