I own a terraced Victorian house in West Green. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in West Green and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in West Green I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in West Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in West Green it brings up many conveyancersin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable property lawyer for purchase transaction?
The ideal method of finding the right conveyancer is through a personal referral, so enquire of friends and relatives who have acquired a property in West Green or the respected estate agent or financial adviser. Charges for conveyancing in West Green differ, so it's advisable to secure a minimum of four quotes from different property lawyers. Be sure to secure confirmation what costs in the quote includes.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in West Green both have in the region of 50 years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
After years of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in West Green. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to arrive at the price.
