Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tadley

Me and my brother own a renovated Georgian house in Tadley. Conveyancing practitioner 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 with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3).

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Tadley with the purpose of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Tadley can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ representatives.
  • You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be advisable double-check via your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is below 75 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. Some Tadley leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where a dispute is ongoing. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Tadley leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such changes. Should you dont have the consents to hand do not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand.

I own a ground floor flat in Tadley, conveyancing having been completed August 2006. 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? Corresponding flats in Tadley with a long lease are worth £179,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2082

You have 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

I own a leasehold flat in Tadley. Conveyancing was completed in 2011. I have been told that I should not let the the remaining lease term to get too short. What is the reasoning?

Tadley leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - usually 99 years when they commenced. However many appartments in Tadley were constructed or converted in the 70’s80’s and so these leases now have fewer than eighty years unexpired. This may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions on the whole need leases to have at least 75 years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are approaching 75 years. To optimize the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to escalate.
