A relative advised me that if I am purchasing in Belvedere I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Belvedere conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Belvedere around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Belvedere Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Belvedere Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Belvedere.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Belvedere I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Belvedere suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Belvedere to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of another?
We don’t make any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
