Recently asked questions about conveyancing in St Helier

Last August we completed a house move in St Helier. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been ordered for conveyancing in St Helier?

The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in St Helier. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor fills in a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, 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 St Helier.

Do I need this when purchasing a residence in St Helier? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church.

I only have 68 years remaining on my flat in St Helier. I need to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering St Helier.

I inherited a ground flat in St Helier. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to make a decision on the amount due.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a St Helier residence is Buchanan Court 39 Vernon Road in April 2010. the Tribunal assessed that the premium payable for the freehold of the block should be £44,000. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 66.67 years.
