About to purchase a new build apartment in Camelford. 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 conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Camelford
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Please supply a car parking plan. 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.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Camelford prior to appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you call us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Camelford. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Camelford to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I was pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Camelford to select a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I work for a busy estate agency in Camelford where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Camelford conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease 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. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.
