The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Wilmslow. 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 legal work.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wilmslow

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Wilmslow I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wilmslow for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Wilmslow

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Wilmslow conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

    Completing pre-contract enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Wilmslow Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Wilmslow leasehold premises is £350. For Wilmslow 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 supply answers.

Wilmslow Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Questions you should ask before buying
