It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain current copies of the property title for less than a fiver.

How does conveyancing in Oakham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Oakham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Oakham typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oakham or who has acted in the same development.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Oakham. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Oakham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I acquired a ground floor flat in Oakham, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Oakham with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2078

With 54 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £32,300 and £37,400 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
