Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Little Oakley

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Little Oakley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Little Oakley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Little Oakley and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business leaseholders, giving them the right to make a request to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we use their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Little Oakley
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Little Oakley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.
