Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Shepherd's Bush. 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.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Shepherd's Bush
-
Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Shepherd's Bush I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Shepherd's Bush in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I own a leasehold flat in Shepherd's Bush. Conveyancing was finished in last year. I have been told that I mustn’t allow the the remaining lease term to fall too low. What is the reasoning?
Shepherd's Bush leasehold properties are for a prescribed term - normally ninety nine years when they commenced. However many flats in Shepherd's Bush were built or converted in the 70’s80’s and so such leases now have less than 80 years left to run. This may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders on the whole require leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to seventy five years. To increase your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore advantages to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
