I own a leasehold house in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing and Bank of Scotland mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Oughtibridge who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Oughtibridge conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Oughtibridge, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Oughtibridge with an extended lease are worth £221,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2096
With just 70 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
My partner and I plan to acquire our first house in Oughtibridge. Conveyancing practitioner already instructed. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not necessary as the property was only constructed in 1997.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises was constructed over a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. The report should highlight any obvious problems and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. Where there are any signs of material issues seek a full structural survey.
