Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Rugby is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Rugby are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rugby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rugby may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Rugby I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thehome move prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Rugby.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a matter reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Rugby should be the figure that you are charged.
My cousin has urged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Rugby. Do I follow his guidance?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Rugby conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek referrals from friends or family who have experience in using the conveyancer that you are contemplating using.
Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold flat in Rugby. Conveyancing and The Mortgage Works mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Rugby who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Rugby conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

It would be prudent to discover as much as you can concerning the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you will be in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day matters like the cleanliness of the common parts. Ask other tenants if they are happy with them. Finally, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the managing agents and precisely what it includes. How much is the annual maintenance fee and ground rent? The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders have control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is frequently retained where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
