I am buying a new build flat in Beaconsfield. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Beaconsfield

    Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

Am I best advised to instruct a Beaconsfield conveyancing solicitor based in the area that I am purchasing? An old friend can execute the legal work however they are based 400miles away.

The benefit of a local Beaconsfield conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unknown Beaconsfield conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Beaconsfield based.
