Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chorley and Eccleston may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am looking at a couple of apartments in Chorley and Eccleston both have approximately fifty years remaining on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

I inherited a basement flat in Chorley and Eccleston, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension?

Being a tenant I am liable for a service charge for my first floor flat in Chorley and Eccleston. As a result of flawed financial planning I slipped into arrears with remittance. The management company agreed a settlement schedule but there remains three thousand pounds currently due.

I want to dispose of the property and I am worried this can hold me back if I have to settle the amount due in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?

It would be wise to speak with the property lawyer undertaking your Chorley and Eccleston conveyancing but one option may be to arrange for the debt to be attributed to the purchasers. The final price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then deal with the outstanding monies post completion of the sale.
