Berkhamsted Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should ask before buying

    The majority of Berkhamsted leasehold properties will have a service bill for maintenance of the block set by the freeholder. If you purchase the apartment you will have to meet this amount, normally in instalments throughout the year. This can be anything from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large common areas. In all probability there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a significant figure, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds. You should be aware if it is no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. Check with your lender that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for two years in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension. It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other major work is pending to be shared amongst the leaseholders and will dramatically increase the the maintenance charges or require a one off invoice.
