Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield.

However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be carried out by the buyer or by their lawyers which will figure out the risks in Ince in Makerfield. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the seller to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding.

five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ince in Makerfield can be reduced if you instruct lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers.
  • If you hold a share in a the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Organising a new share certificate is often a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Ince in Makerfield home move. Where a duplicate share is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Ince in Makerfield leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Should you fail to have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first.

I own a ground floor flat in Ince in Makerfield, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2012. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Ince in Makerfield with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2101

With just 76 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
