My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Waltham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Waltham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham. Having lived in Waltham for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Waltham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Waltham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to let out our Waltham ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Waltham conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Waltham conveyancing solicitor is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Waltham, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Waltham with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2102
With 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
Are Waltham conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to issue transparent conveyancing costs?
Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are prescriptive rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Waltham or across England and Wales.
