It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for a small fee.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in East Acton. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in East Acton

    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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in East Acton both have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in East Acton. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in East Acton. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a East Acton conveyancing firm who can help.

The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 68.47 years.

I am looking to acquire a repression flat in East Acton and the vendor would like to complete inside 28 days. Can a conveyancing practitioner complete in this timeframe? Would it be better to instruct a high street East Acton firm or an online conveyancer that advertises to complete quickly?
