As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Lanchester what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Lanchester
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Lanchester or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Lanchester an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Lanchester where we see a few flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Lanchester conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. 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 agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.
I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Lanchester, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2011. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Lanchester with a long lease are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2083
With 57 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you 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.
