Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Felpham costs more?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold premises in Felpham is inevitably higher when contrasted to a freehold transaction. This is because there is an amount of supplemental investigations required in communicating with the landlord and management company to obtain evidence about whether the rent and maintenance fee have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.
My friend recommended that if I am purchasing in Felpham I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Felpham conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing important information about Felpham around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Felpham Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Felpham.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Felpham. 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.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Felpham
-
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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Felpham I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Felpham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I have chosen a Felpham conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have picked up in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be worried or is that standard with lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancer don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the SRA, who dictate strict stipulations covering monies sitting by them.
