Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Shrivenham from the perspective of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Shrivenham can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ representatives.
  • If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share document. Arranging a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy process and delays many a Shrivenham conveyancing transaction. If a reissued share is necessary, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Shrivenham leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord consenting to such works. If you fail to have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor before hand. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable verify this via your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is under 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you consider whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. Some Shrivenham leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their lawyers.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Shrivenham, conveyancing having been completed June 1998. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Shrivenham with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2084

You have 59 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. 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 you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
