I am buying a new build flat in Leamington Spa. 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.

    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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I have been advised by numerous property agents in Leamington Spa to select a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of another?

We don’t offer any referral fee for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

There are only 72 years left on my lease in Leamington Spa. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. In some cases a specialist may be useful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document to be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing.

I acquired a leasehold flat in Leamington Spa, conveyancing having been completed June 2007. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Leamington Spa with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2086

With 60 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £20,000 and £23,000 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My husband and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Leamington Spa. At the point of instructing our solicitor, they said that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker contacted us just now to advise that they don't seem to be on the Coventry BS approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply find a new conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Coventry BS appointing their own approved conveyancer.

If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is standard for the purchaser’s lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a property lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to satisfy. Some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should call Coventry BS to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Coventry BS's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Leamington Spa solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another property lawyer into the equation.
