We are purchasing a terrace house in Seaburn. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to determine if these works are permitted?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Seaburn will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of works or need the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Seaburn which have in the region of forty five years left on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Seaburn is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of purchasers and lenders, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Seaburn conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I acquired a garden flat in Seaburn, conveyancing was carried out January 1996. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Seaburn with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2081
With just 56 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply 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 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. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
The estate agent has recommended their conveyancer for my conveyancing in Seaburn - Is it not simpler easier to just instruct them?
This is not necessarily the case and you are at liberty to instruct whichever lawyer you prefer for your Seaburn home move. The conveyancer recommended by an estate agent may not necessarily be the right conveyancing practitioner, they may suggest their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your property lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
