Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Burton upon Stather

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Burton upon Stather I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Burton upon Stather in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Burton upon Stather where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Burton upon Stather conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

Burton upon Stather Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should ask before buying

    Is there a share of the freehold? Most Burton upon Stather leasehold properties will have a service charge for the upkeep of the building invoiced by the landlord. Where you acquire the property you will have to meet this liability, normally periodically during the year. This could vary from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay annual, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say around £25-£75 but you need to enquire as sometimes it can be prohibitively expensive. Best to be warned if window replacement or some other major work is due in the near future to be shared between the tenants and will dramatically increase the the service charges or require a one time invoice.
