Sample questions relating to Llanfyllin leasehold conveyancing

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Llanfyllin. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Llanfyllin - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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 only have 62 years remaining on my lease in Llanfyllin. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?

On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent may be useful to try and locate and to produce an expert document which can be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Llanfyllin.

    If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Llanfyllin conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.

Some following of questions might be useful:

    • How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?
  • How many lease extensions has the firm completed in Llanfyllin in the last year?

      For many Llanfyllin leaseholds the cost for major works are not incorporated into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Llanfyllin obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger works. You should be aware that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the salability of the apartment.

Remember, in most cases you will need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be entitled to extend the lease. What is the name of the managing agents?
