Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Burwash is more expensive?

Burwash leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

There is not much else in Burwash suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated 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 commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

    What are the costs for lease extension work?

I own a basement flat in Burwash, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 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? Similar properties in Burwash with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2100

You have 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered 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 without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My husband and I have recently had an offer accepted on our first house in Burwash, and need to get solicitors appointed. I have used the different rating based websites and the results are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Burwash solicitor local to our potential house? I am happy to do everything electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we may be required to physically go into the conveyancer's office to sign papers?

The solicitor does not need to be in Burwash, but choosing local means that you have the option to visit their offices if required, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. Furthermore, a Burwash solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local solicitor) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
