My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Great Ayton. Conveyancing and The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Great Ayton who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Great Ayton conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Great Ayton, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Great Ayton with a long lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2087

With only 62 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

We own a leasehold flat in Great Ayton. Conveyancing was completed in 2009. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to fall too short. What is the reasoning?

Great Ayton domestic long term leases are for a set term - often 99 years when they started. However a significant flats in Great Ayton were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have under eighty years remaining. That may sound like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole require leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing seventy five years. To increase your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. There are also strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
