I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Church End I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Church End in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the 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. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the property agent told us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Church End
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Church End conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
There are only Sixty One years remaining on my lease in Church End. I am keen to get lease extension but my landlord is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent may be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Church End.
