I am buying a new build apartment in Harton. Conveyancing is daunting 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 conveyancing.

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

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. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Harton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Harton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I am using a search engine for the term on line conveyancing in Harton it reveals numerous solicitorsin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right property lawyer for my move?
