A friend recommended that if I am purchasing in Waltham I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Waltham around the property and the people living there.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Waltham is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Waltham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Waltham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Waltham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Waltham and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Waltham. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Waltham area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Waltham. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Waltham. Conveyancing and Halifax mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Waltham who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?

First contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Waltham conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I inherited a split level flat in Waltham, conveyancing having been completed 6 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Waltham with a long lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079

You have 53 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
