Section 5 messages: what now?

If you have received a Section 5 notice informing you have right of first refusal to buy the freehold of your block of flats you are probably wondering what to do. Most leaseholders or flat owners receiving such a notice do not react quickly enough and do not see it for the opportunity it may be. Before you hide the letter away hoping you can ignore it, realise that this could be a chance to secure, or even increase, the value of what is probably your most valuable asset - your leasehold flat.
We cannot avoid getting legal here and you will almost certainly at some point want to consult a specialist leasehold solicitor or surveyor: you can find them at the web site of the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners. First a little background.
Section 5 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 (the Act) as amended by the 1996 Housing Act, compels the owner of the freehold of your block of flats to do certain things if they want he wants to sell that freehold to someone else. It gives you as a flat owner (referred to as a tenant or lessee) what is known as the Right of First Refusal to that freehold. In other words, the freeholder (known as the landlord) has to ask the flat owners (known as the tenants) first if they want to buy it before he can sell it to anyone else.
They must do this in a very particular way: get it wrong and the freeholder could be committing a criminal offence. Specifically, they have to tell you in the form of a notice - the Section 5 Offer Notice. It looks formal because it should adhere to a very specific format.
There are five forms of Section 5 notice ranging for A to E in the Act. The most common by far are the first two, so we will only deal with these here. It is important to understand that this article does not constitute advice and you should only act after consulting a suitably qualified enfranchisement solicitor. You can find a local one at the ALEP web site.
Not every single one of the people in your block of flats will necessarily have received a notice. (We discuss in a separate article what are qualifying tenants but not all flat owners will necessarily be qualifying tenants and not all blocks are necessarily qualifying blocks). If there are more than nine flats that qualify for the right of first refusal, 90% can be sent Offer Notices and the freeholder will be complying with the law in that respect. If there are only two flats, they only need to serve notice on one of them. You should check you all have the same date on your notices: the acceptance dates and deadlines are related to the last one received, assuming you are all in the same 'building', as defined by the Act.
Under a Section 5A notice, the landlord says they want to sell the freehold on the open market. They must tell you the price they will accept and the terms of the sale. This is not up for negotiation and must be a reasonable price. It will be a big number but will usually be less than the cost of buying the freehold using a statutory procedure known as a Section 13 notice. Most qualified property professionals will tell you that buying the freehold generally costs less than the extra value it adds.
The freeholder will not generally just make up a silly price: they are barred for a year from reducing the price and trying to sell it to anyone else after you are notified of your right of first refusal. Flat owners cannot turn to the government's Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to confirm what is a reasonable: it is a take-it-or-leave-it offer. If the price is inflated, noone else will buy it anyway.
However, flat owners may wish to push to the side the Right of First Refusal to pay for their own legal costs and force the agenda via a Section 13 notice if they think that they can negotiate a lower price. We will assume here that the professional surveyor's valuation suggests that the Section 5 price is reasonable.
It is not enough for just you to respond that you wish to buy the freehold and exercise your Right of First Refusal. You need to get together with your neighbours so that the group of you represents MORE than half of the number of flats in the block. We do not have the space here to define your block but this may not be as clear cut as you might think. However, if you live in a converted house, it is likely to be clearer and three out of 5 in a conversion would need to be party to the purchase, for example. You will want to maximise the number of participating flats so that you can spread the cost as best as you can.
The most important timescale for your responding to the notice is the two-month deadline after the date of the Offer Notice. You need to write formally to accept the offer by this time. In a larger block this can be a very short period of time to co-ordinate the efforts of many neighbours. Freeholders regularly service such notices close to Christmas and in the summer when many people are on holiday or pre-occupied with seasonal matters so are more difficult to round up.
The next looming deadline, assuming you do decide you want to take up the offer, is two months away. So eight weeks after you have formally accepted the offer, you now need to tell the freeholder who will actually buy it. In other words; will it be a person or do you set up a company or other entity? This is the nominee purchaser. Miss this deadline and the freeholder is free again to sell the asset as they wish on the open market.
Assuming you do nominate the purchaser on time, the seller has a month to send you the contract and the nominated person then has two months to sign it. A deposit of 10% will be paid to the seller at the same time.
So that is a Section 5A, now to Section 5B. This applies to sales of freeholds in auctions and the timescales are slightly different with more time to respond, though the process is broadly the same. Obviously the freeholder does not have a specific offer price but they do have to notify you of their intention to put it into an auction between four and six months before the date of the auction. You need to respond within two months and this point must be two months before the auction. You get half the time of a Section 5A notice to nominate a purchaser - one month. Then the flat owners must send one more notice 28 days prior to the auction confirming that the process should continue.
Then we come to the auction itself. Actually, flat owners do not have to attend. They can wait for the auction to finish and then they can step into the shoes of the winning bidder. They don't have to and they certainly should not bid if they want the best price. The auction house will make it clear to prospective bidders that flat owners have reserved their right to take the place of the winning bidder, and this can certainly suppress interest and so the 'hammer price'. The freeholder then has seven days after the action, if the freehold sells, to notify the nominated flat owner. The flat owner then has 28 days to step into the shoes of the winning bidder and take over that sales contract, if they wish.
If a majority of flat owners have not secured these 'step-in' rights, all is not lost. Any number of them could still be the successful bidder at auction, provided they can come up with the funds - usually 10% on the day and the remainder within 28 days.
You may not receive any form of Section 5 Notice from the freeholder but you may receive a Section 18 notice from a person or company that wants to buy your freehold. This is a way of ensuring that the prospective buyer does not get caught out in the event the freeholder does not go through due process. You have similar timescales to respond and to buy the freehold along with your neighbours. If less than half of the tenants respond blocking the sale, the new prospect buyer can go ahead with the purchase.
It is worth noting here that only the 'immediate' landlord is obliged to offer the right of first refusal. Sometimes there is an intermediate or headlease between the ultimate freeholder and the flat owner (the lessee). If such a situation exists then the ultimate landlord can sell as they wish, even without consulting the headlessee.
Not only should your existing or old freeholder follow a strict procedure, but the new freeholder must also do so. You should receive a Section 3A notice under the 1985 Landlord and Tenant Act informing you of your rights. That can often be a heads-up that the right of first refusal has been denied, at which point you may wish to consult a specialist residential leasehold solicitor.
This is a complex legal process and you will need a solicitor to advise you and a surveyor to determine the correct price for the freehold. You should find a qualified and experienced professional in this sector and the Association of Leasehold Enfranchisement Practitioners has a database of vetted members.

Then came the economic turndown. In our chairs we sit through our account statements browsing began to notice that the interest rate a thirsty plant was drooping. Instead, until finally seem to wither our bank statements before our eyes.

So where now an investment to you. Is it again under the mattress? What are there other options? What our roofs?

I was always been interested in the technology - and renewable technologies are fiction only an extension of the science that I grew up. The films to overcome some bleak vision of the future, and you had painted the planet's finite resources. Similarly grew I Tom and Barbara's happy faces to watch how you back lived dream at Surbiton from the self sufficiency in the 1970s.

The feed in tarriff
On April 1st 2010 the feed-in tariff in the UK began. The idea behind the feed-in tariff is the Government struck a deal with all providers to pay for all consumers to start a tariff only for the generation that this is an incentive for everyone, power generation and of course the big picture realize regarding our power consumption and must specify more sustainable living.

For systems under 4kw is generated 41.3 pence per unit. This is a fixed income rate for electricity generated and used in your home, based on the size of your PV array (No. potentially can produce panels and kWh that).-.

Over 4 kw it less 36.1 pence and the rate reduced to 31.4 pence for a 10 100Kw system.

How know electricity provider how much I have generated?
The beauty is, you will a price, paid based on the size of your pv system and the amount of sun light (linear average), which is annually expected to hit your panels. This average is based on a position in the Midlands.

Argue some of you like, that it milder elsewhere in the UK and would experience more sun light? I'm not here to argue. Maybe the MCS will change someday this method of calculation based on your site long and LAT, but now his Sheffield.

Some providers offer an export meter that will determine the export rate you receive typically between 1-5 pence in addition to generating electricity and could be considered the export tariff element.

What's the deadline?
From the day the your solar pv system, which on behalf of a certified MCS installer you will feed in tariff rate for a period of 25 years. This period coincides loosely with General manufacturer service life of the PV panels.

How much can I earn?
On a 2.2kw you earn system, approximately ?800 900 per year, which is also exempt. Multiplizert that of 25 years, and you see the repayment period of the system appear very attractive.

The icing on the cake.
The feed-in tariff is index-linked, so that as inflation changes, so the feed-in tariff will be reviewed and income from the prices published 25 years during your term of Office received your electricity supplier.

Solar PV is also quick descent into the price too, so that periods are the repayment continuously shortening and look you could earn cost the system more than 3 times over during the 25 years after installation, you would see that offered nearer 10% average instead of the 4.5%, you on the high street higher rate this ISA's currently.

Property prices in Cyprus set drop further

This sunny island in the Eastern Mediterranean, great weather enjoy the year round, has long been popular with tourists and foreign long-term residents. Combine long, warm summers, short, mild winters, clean beaches, charming villages, friendly, welcoming people, different historical and cultural associations, archaeological ruins and a mix of affect all Middle Eastern and Western European Cyprus give a special charm. While the resort towns one glittering nightlife offer, can those, the quiet and the villages along the coast or inland head.

A member of the European Union since 2004, Cyprus has a good standard of living, a far lower than the European average, modern infrastructure, high-quality medical care and a relatively low cost of living makes it possible to have an attractive place for the move or retire to crime rates. Cyprus has adopted the euro and buyers meeting facilities euro mortgages.

In the past decade or so healthy demand from abroad had growth in the real estate and construction industries, so that stimulated important contributors to economic development. But beat the real estate boom, Cyprus enjoyed for over a decade ended the finally mid 2008 and prices fall have been ever since, though not as much as Spain, Greece and some other countries through the recession. Prices are its downward due to weak demand from foreigners and native currently, on, although foreign demand is much lower than domestic demand.

Demand has weakened, mainly because the number of buyers from the UK and overseas since the recession plummeted. The sterling value against the euro, increase investment in the euro area to British nationals lost. Global economic uncertainty and falling real estate prices in many countries have made very careful to potential investors. Also, British and Russian buyers who don't want to invest in property, for which you may have been unable to get a clear legal title, as is the case with some buyers in the past, the delay in the issuing title deeds and general lack of transparency in the real estate transactions have discouraged to the Cypriot Government. The Government is working towards change to promote laws and regulation of property transactions down by foreign investment property. Mortgage rates in Cyprus are making home loans among the highest in the EU, too expensive for many and depleting demand.

Weak demand, speculative construction, the influence of distressed Greek banks to the Cypriot financial intermediation and economic uncertainty in the UK, Europe and the USA have analysts believe that prices will fall further, before the real estate market bottoms led. According to a Central Bank bulletin published in December 2010, house prices fell by 1.8% in the first three quarters 2010. Prices by 4.1% had decreased in 2009.

Entry into retirement and vacation home segment was hit the hardest. Coastal towns that were popular seen with foreign buyers have sharper price as Nicosia and other places covered Cypriot preferred by buyers. Spain boom-and-bust property market and falling prices, which elsewhere are invited potential holiday and retirement home buyers be careful where you invest, of which many start, consider alternative goals, Bulgaria, Croatia, Turkey.

Cypriot banks are approving loans to foreigners looking to buy property in Cyprus has become smarter. In addition to increased collateral requirements, banks have changed the terms of payment. Real estate investments are in coastal areas is considered riskier because the sharpest corrections have occurred. All these factors make home loans harder to come.

In Paphos and Sotira, both of which have been popular with foreigners, the prices are as much as 20% to 30% over the past two and a half years fell. In Protaras and areas west of Larnaca Pervolia and kiti Tersefanou prices down not so much. The reason is, these are popular with local buyers. Nicosia has seen an increase in sales has have fared better than other towns and cities.

The economy is expected to do something better in 2011. Analysts hope that the discovery of oil in the sea areas will give a boost to the Cypriot economy. Although Cypriot banks stable, there is some concern about the increase in non-performing loans and exposure to Greek banks. High budget deficit of the country must be also reined.

Real estate recovery is clearly an increase of foreign investment, turn on economic stability and growth in Cyprus and overseas as well as changes of tax hinges, property and tax laws in Cyprus.

Cyprus is still a wonderful place to live. Could it a good idea for those who want a home in Cyprus to the market closely and maintain correct prices further before purchasing. Still risks and potential investors advised to go with caution and reliable legal advice.

REO REO listings: why are lenders deny short sales?

When a judicial foreclosure solution shorted calls

During this time the record foreclosures are many Americans that smashed through the recession without losing many alternatives to your home. Such an alternative, the short sale, where the homeowner is allowed to sell your house below the value of your mortgage, a home loan you could no longer afford was a way getting someone could "out from under".

The biggest obstacle to a successful short sale is often the lender holding mortgage. As it not a short sale process is set in stone, the approval process inconsistent, unpredictable, and all also often blocked, even if it is in the best interest of the creditor.

"Boston Globe" the ordeal of Christopher and Linda Robbins, who thrilled you had managed to find a buyer for your condo, you could no longer afford detailed in a recent article. That joy, sadness and disappointment, turned on if your mortgage learned turned owner of the deal. The reason for this? The apartment was willing to pay more value than that of the purchaser.

Instead process went the parents of two young children through the painful isolation. A few weeks later, the lender home previous released - at a price of $7000 less than what you had offered the short sale buyer. Now has the family pulled out and the condo is empty with no buyers in sight.

Why lenders are such transactions if unique to deny it is financially the best step for you as well as House and apartment owners? These types of foreclosures are frequently auctioned for less as owner in the proposed short sale would have made the mortgage.

"The irrationality which can treat these applications, is absurd," commented Thomas j. Percy, managing partner of law firm representing sellers and lenders in short sales, the world. "You can very different responses depending on, among other things the negotiators you end Bank up with. "

Lenders say, is why you many short sales decline because you're worried about fraud. To in 50 transactions be piled with difficulties. Often encounter problems, because an investor hires a less than their value to assess real estate property. Then buys the property in a short sale investors and immediately turns around and it sells for a higher price in a process known as flopping.

Banks lose $300 million a year for this type of fraud. Is the question however, how much you lose honest transactions on others who have completed the accreditation by the lender in their tracks - transactions, form the majority of the rule?

In a market where lenders keep hundreds of billions of dollars of REO Properties, this a question that you need is to even asked.
