Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch

    Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch from the perspective of expediting the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers.
  • If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. Many freeholders or managing agents in Ashby de la Zouch charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Ashby de la Zouch. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Ashby de la Zouch leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such works. If you fail to have the paperwork in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your solicitor first.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Ashby de la Zouch, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1999. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Ashby de la Zouch with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2094

With 69 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
