However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Molesey. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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 confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. 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 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.
Hoping to buy a property located in Molesey and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Molesey. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Molesey area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Molesey. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Molesey

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Molesey. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
