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.

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.

Should I be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Downend conveyancing practice?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable.

Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
