I have todayfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Hathern for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hathern conveyancing specialists.

I have recently realised that I have Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Hathern. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?

If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the landlord. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to try and locate and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Hathern.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Hathern, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar properties in Hathern with a long lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 50

With only 50 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
