Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Henlow
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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.
I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Henlow to find a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?

As co-executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a residence in Monmouth but live in Henlow. My conveyancer (based 250 miles from mehas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Henlow who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Henlow based
