Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Silvertown I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Silvertown in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Silvertown it brings up numerous solicitorsin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable conveyancing solicitor for my move?

Completion is due on our sale of a £300,000 apartment in Silvertown in just under a week. The management company has quoted £324 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Silvertown?

Silvertown conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes more often than not involves the buyer’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be content to do so. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Silvertown conveyancing firm to assist?
