I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Hoddesdon I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hoddesdon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Should I be concerned that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Hoddesdon conveyancing firm?
As is the case with many professional services, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest lawyers to choose. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some banks have an approved list of conveyancers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
I work for a long established estate agency in Hoddesdon where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Hoddesdon conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
