My wife and I have lately purchased a property in South Hylton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in South Hylton?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in South Hylton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a form referred to as a SPIF. answers proves to be misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in South Hylton.

What makes a South Hylton lease defective?

Leasehold conveyancing in South Hylton is not unique. All leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A duty to insure the building

You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.

I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in South Hylton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in South Hylton with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2096

With only 70 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

How does one as executor remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a property in South Hylton?

Where a South Hylton property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a disposal you would just be asked to supply proof as to the reason the other owner is missing from the transfer, such as a grant of probate.

With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you can apply to have the deceased party erased from the title by applying to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
