I have justbecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Shirebrook for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Shirebrook conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Shirebrook I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Shirebrook for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Shirebrook. Conveyancing and Nationwide Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Shirebrook who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
First contact HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Shirebrook conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
