I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Penley for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make 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 Penley conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Penley I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Penley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
