Planning to exchange soon on a studio apartment in Vauxhall. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they are sending me a report on Monday. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Vauxhall should include some of the following:
-
Defining your legal entitlements in relation to the communal areas in the block.By way of example, does the lease grant a right of way over a path or hallways? The landlord’s rights to access the premises. You should be made aware that your landlord has rights of access as well as be informed how much notice must be provided. How long the lease is. You should be advised as what happens when the lease ends, and informed of the importance of not letting the lease term falling below eighty years Does the lease require carpeting throughout thus preventing wood flooring? Whether your lease has a provision for a reserve fund for major works?
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Vauxhall conveyancing firm to assist?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to judgment on the sum to be paid.
