Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Dulverton is more expensive?

Dulverton leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

I am about to put an offer on a leasehold property in Dulverton. The property agents advise that it is standard for flats in Dulverton to have less than 75 years remaining. I am expecting a loan with Platform. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 72 years remaining.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 14/3/2026 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

About to purchase a new build flat in Dulverton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Dulverton

    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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply a car parking plan.

Do I need to be wary that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Dulverton conveyancing practice?

As with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all put forward conveyancers to select. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that some lenders specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.

I dont have enough spare money to pay a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Dulverton , but I am keen exchange. What can I do?

One option is to try and accept a lower deposit. Many vendors will accept a lesser deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last moment
