I am buying a new build apartment in Brinsworth. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brinsworth
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Brinsworth prior to retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to give a loan on this type of premises.

I was pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Brinsworth to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than another?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Brinsworth. I happened to discover a site which looks to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Brinsworth ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Brinsworth conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Brinsworth conveyancing solicitor is not available you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.

Where a Brinsworth lease has less than 80 years it will affect the marketability of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will need to own the premises for 24 months in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension. Please inform me if there are any major works anticipated that could increase the maintenance costs? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability?
