What are the common problems that you see in leases for Fetcham properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Fetcham. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises Insurance obligations

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Virgin Money, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Fetcham, conveyancing was carried out in 1996. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Fetcham with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2084

You have 60 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £20,000 and £23,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
