About to purchase a new build apartment in Seascale. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Seascale

    The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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 supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Builders have put forward a solicitor and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly £250 cheaper than my own Seascale lawyer. What's the catch?

Developers normally have panels of lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s paperwork and lawyer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the suggested solicitor is that they may be unwilling to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the developer. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your local Seascale lawyer.
