I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Shinfield is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Shinfield are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Shinfield you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shinfield may decide 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 property.
We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Shinfield
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Shinfield conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Shinfield. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Shinfield, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen 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? Similar properties in Shinfield with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2098
You have 72 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
Is there a reason that Shinfield conveyancing charges are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
When acquiring a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
