Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Coxhoe. 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 legal work.

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

    Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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?

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Coxhoe

We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Coxhoe conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by senior management.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Coxhoe. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Coxhoe - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I inherited a studio flat in Coxhoe, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable properties in Coxhoe with a long lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

With just 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
