You do not need to instruct a Bembridge conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3.

    In the main the cost for major works tend not to be built into the maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Bembridge ask leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? You should want to discover as much as you can regarding the company managing the building as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the owner of a leasehold property you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to every day matters like the upkeep of the common parts. Don't be afraid to ask prospective neighbours whether they are happy with them. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the managing agents and specifically what you get for your money.

Provided no conflict arises this is allowable. Where you are needing a home loan then the lender may have a say as many banks have specific requirements on this. For example for Clydesdale Bank as of 12/3/2026, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

Yes, in the circumstances stated in part 1 of the handbook.
