About to purchase a new build flat in Llanbedr. Conveyancing is daunting 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.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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 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. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Llanbedr I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Llanbedr suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I own a leasehold house in Llanbedr. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Llanbedr who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
First contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Llanbedr conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Generally speaking the outlay for major works are not wrapped into the service charges, although there some managing agents in Llanbedr require tenants to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance. The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the lessees benefit from control and although a managing agent is frequently retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders. Best to be warned whether changing the roof or some other major work is pending to be shared between the leasehold owners and may well materially impact the level of the maintenance costs or require a one time invoice.
Builders have suggested I use a property lawyer and I've sought an estimate from them. It's nearly two hundred pounds less expensive than my local Llanbedr lawyer. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of property lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s paperwork and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange within a tight time frame. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended solicitor is that they may be unwilling to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the developer. If you worry that this may be the case you should keep with your local Llanbedr property lawyer.
