I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Longton. I have been residing for the previous Seventeen years in Longton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
Provided that you do not need a home loan, then almost all of the Longton conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your future purchaser what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where premises with functional issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Longton should be able to give you some practical advice here.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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.

I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Longton both have approximately 50 years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Longton. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.
I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Longton, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. 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? Corresponding flats in Longton with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2089
With 64 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £15,200 and £17,600 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
