About to purchase a new build apartment in Burnham On Crouch. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 conveyancing.

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.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Burnham On Crouch I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Burnham On Crouch in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Last February I purchased a leasehold house in Burnham On Crouch. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Burnham On Crouch, conveyancing having been completed in 2006. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Burnham On Crouch with an extended lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2083

With 57 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £26,600 and £30,800 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 cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I have today placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Burnham On Crouch and the broker that we are dealing with recommended his lawyer. They quoted nine hundred pounds including VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound like a good deal?

Don't just go on one estimate. One should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Burnham On Crouch. Then choose one that you trust and just as important, is on the approved panel of the bank that you are sourcing your mortgage from.
