Notice of Transfer and charge for leasehold property

11-05-2018, 20:11 PM

Hi I was wondering whether someone could assist me in answering the following. I have been gifted a flat and am going to the land registry office to transfer it next week. I know I have to transfer the ownership of the lease with the landlord but just wanted to know whether I have to use a solicitor for this or whether I can type my own. I have all the paperwork from when my son purchased the property and have a copy of the notice that was completed which I could use as a rough guide. Is it a legal requirement to use a conveyancer for this or has anyone been in a similar situation. Thank you in advance

You can in theory deal with both the freeholder and LR yourself - whether you have the skills to so do we couldn't comment.

Legal fees for creating a new residential lease

heathcliff

Hi, just curious to know if there is such a thing as average legal fees for creating a new residential lease. I've been quoted £1500 + vat which seems quite high? I trust the firm as they have worked for us a number of times but normally as freeholder so the leaseholder pays fees..... Any advice...

Thx for the reply - the more I think about it the more I think it is too much too - way more than the fee for a straightforward conveyancing transaction anyway!...

I would say it was over the top. All that is needed is to draw up the lease and register it. It is not a full conveyancing transaction where they have to make enquiries, negotiate a contract, correspond with another firm and report to you. The solicitor should have a basic lease on tap which he can...

Hi, thx for replying. We own freehold property which is split into a residential flat above a commerical property below. We need to raise a mortgage on the residential part and in order to do this need to issue a new lease. I understand the registration fees etc which are payable to the land registry...

Could anyone share any experience or knowledge of the process and timeline of how quickly the treasury solicitor acts upon making an offer to sell freehold back to leaseholders after the original freeholder had his company dissolved (10 years ago)

There are only 2 leaseholders, one of...

No. This is a separate and unique post. My comment on the above post you mention was because it was a similar situation. I apologise if I am not adhering to any rules I am not aware of.

Clause in lease seems to have put a spanner in the works for BTL remortgage

TakashiJo

I own a flat which has an unexpired lease. I am in the process of remortgaging the flat. I received a mortgage offer from a lender. However, I had only nineteen years left on my lease; The lender requires all properties on which it lends, to have a minimum of twenty years remaining on the lease....

It is worth asking the other leaseholders who they used as the draft wording would already be in place. It may well be in the form of a deed of variation that sits on top of the existing lease. They could perhaps use this opportunity to also vary the covenant restricting continuous letting.
