I moved into my home on 16 September and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wadhurst advises it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Wadhurst uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Wadhurst registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Wadhurst before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on such a house.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Wadhurst which have about forty five years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Wadhurst is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the value of the premises. The majority of purchasers and lenders, leases with under 75 years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Wadhurst conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Wadhurst, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Wadhurst with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079

With just 53 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
