I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Risca where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Risca conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Risca, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Risca with a long lease are worth £227,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2098
With 72 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
Should one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title deeds for a property in Risca?
Where a Risca property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a sale your lawyer would simply be asked to evidence as to the reason the co owner is not included in the contract, typically this takes the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you can apply to have the deceased name removed from the title by applying to HMLR with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
