I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have just found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Raunds. Conveyancing lawyers have are about to be instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Raunds ?

The majority of houses in Raunds are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Raunds in which case you should be shopping around for a Raunds conveyancing practitioner and check that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the freeholder’spermission to conduct alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your lawyer will report to you on the legal implications.

I own a garden flat in Raunds, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1997. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Raunds with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2080

With only 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £32,300 and £37,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

As a tenant I am liable for a maintenance fee for my flat in Raunds. As a result of flawed financial planning I fell behind with remittance. The freeholders agreed a payment schedule but there remains approximately £3000 due in arrears.

I now wish to dispose of the property and I am concerned this can jeopardize the sale if I have to pay off the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently repay the debt from the completion monies - is this possible?

The lawyer handing your Raunds sale should be in a position to negotiate with the appropriate parties, and agree with them whether or not they would accept payment out of the sale proceeds. This is an example of why it is advisable to instruct a conveyancer in Raunds as they may well enjoy an open line of communication with the management company.
