I today plan to offer on a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a great price which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a leasehold house in Raunds. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
Most houses in Raunds are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Raunds so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Raunds conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer will report to you on the legal implications.
I invested in buying a basement flat in Raunds, conveyancing formalities finalised November 1997. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Raunds with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2080
You have 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £32,300 and £37,400 plus legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you 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 are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
I pay a service charge for my flat in Raunds. As a result of flawed financial planning I fell behind with remittance. The managing agents agreed a payment plan but there is still around £1750 due in arrears.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am worried this may hold me back if I have to settle the amount due in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
Your property lawyer will hopefully be able to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept payment out of the sale proceeds.
