I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Newington for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, 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 Newington conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Newington I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake 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 anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
