I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Chesham for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, 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 Chesham conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Chesham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chesham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.
My father has suggested that I appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Chesham. Should I find my own conveyancer?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek feedback from friends or family who have actually used the firm you're considering.
