About to purchase a new build flat in Urmston. 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.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Urmston

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £450,000 maisonette in Urmston in just under a week.

Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Urmston leasehold property is £350. For Urmston conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide answers.

Urmston Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Questions you should consider before buying

    Who manages the building? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments? Is anyone aware of any major works in the planning that will increase the maintenance charges?

I pay a maintenance contribution for my appartment in Urmston. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there is still approximately £1750 left in arrears.

I want to dispose of the property and I am worried this can jeopardize the sale if I have to settle the amount due first. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this viable?

Do clarify with the solicitor undertaking your Urmston conveyancing but one option could be to arrange for the debt to be passed to the buyers. The final price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then discharge the arrears after completion of the sale.
