It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Rawdon and Yeadon. Conveyancing lawyers have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could stored with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
We are purchasing a property and the lawyer has referenced Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has suggested insurance. Is this strictly appropriate for conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon
Unless a previous acquisition of the house took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect conveyancing practitioners carrying out conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer should know precisely where to find all the relevant paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your house without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rawdon and Yeadon is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Rawdon and Yeadon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Rawdon and Yeadon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rawdon and Yeadon may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Rawdon and Yeadon where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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.
I acquired a ground floor flat in Rawdon and Yeadon, conveyancing was carried out in 1998. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Rawdon and Yeadon with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101
With 77 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. 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. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
