My wife and I own a renovated Victorian property in Solva. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Solva and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Solva with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it could affect my loan with The Mortgage Works. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently bought a leasehold property in Solva. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I invested in buying a studio flat in Solva, conveyancing having been completed June 2001. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Solva with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079
With only 53 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
I pay a maintenance contribution for my appartment in Solva. As a result of personal circumstances I slipped behind with payments. I negotiated a settlement plan but there is still two outstanding at the current time.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am panicking this could hold me back if I have to settle the arrears in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?
Your lawyer will hopefully be in a position to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept payment from completion monies. Here is an example of why it might be good to instruct a conveyancer in Solva as they may well have an established relationship with the parties.
