Rayleigh Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

    The majority of Rayleigh leasehold flats will have a service bill for the upkeep of the building levied on behalf of the freeholder. Where you acquire the property you will have to pay this liability, normally quarterly accross the year. This can differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. In all probability there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, normally this is not a large figure, say about £25-£75 but you need to check it because occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive. If a Rayleigh lease has fewer than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably require a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Rayleighlease extensions you will be required to have been the owner of the property for 24 months in order to be eligible to carry out a lease extension. In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be built into the maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Rayleigh ask tenants to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance.
