For Hurst conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved.

I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Hurst, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2008. 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? Comparable properties in Hurst with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083

With just 59 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title deeds for a house in Hurst?

If a Hurst property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a sale your conveyancer would just need to supply proof as to the reason the joint owner is missing from the transfer, usually this takes the form of a grant of probate.

With a view to making the sale conveyancing simpler in the future you can apply to have the deceased name erased from the title entries by applying to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
