Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Wellingborough is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Wellingborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wellingborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wellingborough may ascertain 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.
We own a leasehold flat in Wellingborough. Conveyancing was finished in five years ago. I have been told that I should not let the lease length fall too low. What is the reasoning?
Wellingborough leasehold properties are for a fixed term - often just under one hundred years when they commenced. However many flats in Wellingborough were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have under eighty years left to run. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole need leases to have at least 75 years left to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to seventy five years. To maximise the saleability of your property you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits eighty years as when the lease is less than eighty years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
