I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Worplesdon. I have resided for the previous dozen years in Worplesdon. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a home loan, then the vast majority of the Worplesdon conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it may be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion houses with apparent issues can still reveal adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Worplesdon should be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Worplesdon both have about forty five years unexpired on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Worplesdon is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the value of the premises. The majority of buyers and banks, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Worplesdon conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
