I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. West Yorkshire is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in West Yorkshire are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in West Yorkshire you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Yorkshire 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.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in West Yorkshire and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in West Yorkshire
I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor apartment in West Yorkshire. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as normal because all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in West Yorkshire, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in West Yorkshire with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2078
With only 53 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should 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.
