Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Baglan

    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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Baglan I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Baglan suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Baglan Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should ask before buying

    Who takes responsibility for maintaining and repairing the building? Many Baglan leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building levied by the management company. If you purchase the apartment you will have to pay this liability, normally quarterly accross the year. This could differ from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal grounds. In all probability there will be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a exorbitant sum, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to check it because on occasion it can be many hundreds of pounds. Is there a share of the freehold?

I am considering choosing an online lawyer ahead of a Baglan conveyancing firm. Any advice?
