It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Little Ilford 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?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Little Ilford
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Little Ilford I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Little Ilford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
Should I instruct a Little Ilford conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? An old friend can deal with the conveyancing but they are based 400kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Little Ilford conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Little Ilford know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should surpass using an unfamiliar Little Ilford conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
I am looking at a two maisonettes in Little Ilford both have approximately fifty years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Little Ilford is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the premises. For most buyers and mortgage companies, leases with under eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more positive 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 property 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 Little Ilford 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.
