Your property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Barclays or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding documentation. Barclays will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule a slot for the valuation to occur.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Raynes Park I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Raynes Park suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

if there is a missing freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the premium.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Raynes Park property is 33 The Maisonettes Alberta Avenue in June 2014. the Tribunal decided that the premium payable for the grant of a new lease be the sum of £20,680 (Twenty Thousand six hundred and eighty pounds). This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 60.43 years.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Raynes Park what are the most common lease defects?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Raynes Park. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the premises Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Nationwide Building Society, Barnsley Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
