A relative advised me that if I am purchasing in Calstock I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is occasionally included in the estimate for your Calstock conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Calstock around the property and the people living there.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Calstock I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Calstock in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

As co-executor for the will of my father I am selling a property in Neath but I am based in Calstock. My conveyancer (approximately 235 kilometers from merequires that I sign a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Calstock to attest this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Calstock based

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Calstock. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Some leases for properties in Calstock do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see 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 purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Calstock, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Calstock with a long lease are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

With only 70 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus 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 cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I have just placed an offer on an apartment in Calstock and the broker that we are using recommended his property lawyer. They quoted £1000 excluding VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound expensive?

You should not rely on a single quote. One should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Calstock. Then choose one that you trust and just as important, is on the approved list of the mortgage company that you have applied for a mortgage from.
