I have been told that property searches are the main cause of hinderance in Tidworth conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Tidworth.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Tidworth I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tidworth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I have recently realised that I have 68 years unexpired on my flat in Tidworth. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the freeholder. In some cases a specialist should be useful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Tidworth.

Please note that where the lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the salability of the property. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. For most Tidworthlease extensions you would be required to have been the owner of the residence for two years before you are entitled to extend the lease. How long is the Lease? Who takes charge for maintaining and repairing the building?
Is planning consent necessary to convert a single dwelling into a couple of appartments in Tidworth? This has been done to a house next door to my house in Tidworth and was ignorant of it happening until it was done.
Planning permission is necessary for converting a single house in Tidworth into apartments but possibly not for reverting back to single dwelling-house so, simply put, yes.
