My partner and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Cimla and my mum and dad have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now informed that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to disclose this to my lender. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

Your property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with the bank to make sure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Should our conveyancer be making enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Cimla.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Cimla. There are those who acquire a property in Cimla, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Cimla. The conventional set of property information forms supplied to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the owner to find out if the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim resulting from an misleading answer. A purchaser’s lawyers should also order an environmental report. This will higlight whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be carried out.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Cimla I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cimla in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

What does commercial conveyancing in Cimla cover?

Commercial conveyancing in Cimla incorporates a broad range of services, supplied by qualified solicitors, relating to business property. By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the transfer of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Cimla which have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Cimla is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the premises. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with under eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises 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 residence 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 Cimla 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. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. 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 leasehold flat in Cimla, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Cimla with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2087

With 62 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
