Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Bowness On Windermere I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Bowness On Windermere suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

My husband and I may need to rent out our Bowness On Windermere ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Bowness On Windermere conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Bowness On Windermere do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

I bought a garden flat in Bowness On Windermere, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2000. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Bowness On Windermere with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2101

With 75 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
