I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Blackpool. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you clear the invoice as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I purchased a leasehold flat in Blackpool, conveyancing was carried out in 2000. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Blackpool with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2085

With only 60 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £20,000 and £23,000 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.

HMLR by statute are bound to reveal price paid data on a register of the title for residential properties countrywide which includes properties in Blackpool. The Title Register is a public document, so the Land Registry would be breaching their statutory duty if they failed to allow access to the register.

You can make a request of HM Land Registry to hide the price paid entry yet the answer will be in the negative.
