Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Raglan. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I bought a 2 bed flat in Raglan, conveyancing was carried out in 2009. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Raglan with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2096
With just 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
