Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Chaddesden is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Chaddesden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chaddesden you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chaddesden may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Chaddesden where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Chaddesden conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

Where a Chaddesden lease has less than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will probably need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have been the owner of the residence for a couple of years before you are legally able to extend the lease. Plenty Chaddesden leasehold apartments will have a service charge for maintenance of the block levied on behalf of the management company. Where you acquire the property you will have to meet this amount, usually in instalments accross the year. This can be anything from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, this is usually not a large figure, say about £50-£100 but you need to check it because occasionally it can be surprisingly expensive. In the main the outlay for major works are not incorporated into the service charges, although a few managing agents in Chaddesden ask leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance.
