I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Robertsbridge I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Robertsbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Robertsbridge. I have stumble across a web site which looks to be the ideal solution If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I work for a reputable estate agency in Robertsbridge where we see a few leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Robertsbridge conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease 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 sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. 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 sale.
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 acquired a ground floor flat in Robertsbridge, conveyancing having been completed in 2000. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Robertsbridge with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091
With 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should 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.
We are thinking of appointing an online property lawyer as opposed to a Robertsbridge conveyancing practice. Am I making a mistake?
Various benefits exist in having the opportunity to pop in to a local Robertsbridge conveyancing solicitor for example
- signing papers on short notice
- getting one on one explanations of things that need explaining
- the ability to complain if matters are not going as expected
When checking estimates, look carefully for hidden extras. The majority decent Robertsbridge high street solicitors give an all-inclusive price. Many online agents appear to offer low cost prices, but have burried 'extras' in the fine print.
