Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in St Davids I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Davids in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
I have appointed a St Davids conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have picked up in the Ts and Cs that they are not governed by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be concerned or is that the norm with lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who set strict laws covering monies held by them.
