In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Thurrock? Is this really warranted?
Thurrock conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers accross the UK have an obligation under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to check the ID of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.
Conveyancing clients are required to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement less than 3 months old).
Proof of source of funds is also required in accordance with the money laundering laws as conveyancers have a duty to investigate that the monies you are using to buy a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase monies if you are a cash purchaser) has originated from an acceptable source (such as an inheritance) rather than the proceeds of illegitimate behaviour.

Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Thurrock will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Many additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Thurrock
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Thurrock which have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Thurrock. The lease is a right to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
I acquired a 2 bed flat in Thurrock, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Thurrock with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101
With just 75 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
