I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Skelmersdale is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Skelmersdale may ascertain 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 premises.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Skelmersdale where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Skelmersdale conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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 buyer.
I inherited a 1st floor flat in Skelmersdale, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Skelmersdale with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2088
With 62 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" 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 the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
How does one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a property in Skelmersdale?
Where a Skelmersdale property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a disposal you would just be asked to evidence why the joint proprietor is missing from the contract, normally this takes the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making things simpler in the future you can apply to have the deceased person erased from the title register by applying to HM Land Registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
