Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Deptford
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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.

As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may suggest conveyancers to use.

You have the discretion to select your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that some lenders operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your transaction.
