Oxford Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    It is important to be aware if redecorating or some other major work is anticipated that will be shared by the leaseholders and could well dramatically increase the the service fees or necessitate a one off invoice. The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees enjoy control and although a managing agent is often employed where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Where a Oxford lease has fewer than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Oxfordlease extensions you would need to own the premises for 24 months before you are eligible to extend the lease.
