Last April I purchased a leasehold property in Buxton. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Buxton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Buxton with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2080
With just 55 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to 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.
Please set out some of specific benefits to selecting a local lawyer in Buxton
Many purchasers and sellers in Buxton prefer a nearby high street conveyancing practitioner so that they can visit in the event that they have questions, and to execute documents rather than run the risk of depending on the post.
One could say that there exists a marginal edge when selecting a conveyancing practitioner nearby to a house you are hoping to purchase, due to the knowledge of the locality and potential local issues - nevertheless this is debatable. Many conveyancers are now online and could be based anywhere.
