What does Leasehold mean?

Leasehold means that somebody else has title to the land and that you will therefore have to pay a ground rent and possibly also a service charge to the freeholder (owner of the freehold title). It is normally possible to buy the freehold title at a later date as a separate purchase transaction.

It therefore follows that the valuation of two identical properties, one being leasehold and the other freehold, would result in a lower value being applied to the leasehold property.

It is important to check the length of time remaining on the lease (Commonly the leases would have been originally issued with a 99 year life span). If not much time is remaining on the lease it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, unless the freehold can also be purchased subsequently.

What do Conveyancers do?

The conveyancer acts on behalf of either the buyer or seller and represents their interests in the purchase or sale of a property. The conveyancer will ensure that the terms and conditions of the contract for sale are fair and reasonable and will check that all financial information is correct.

The conveyancing process will vary according to whether they are acting for the buyer or the selling party.
