I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Forest Hill for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Forest Hill conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Forest Hill I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Forest Hill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I have been advised by numerous property agents in Forest Hill to find a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Forest Hill. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Forest Hill - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
