The conveyancing costs on a leasehold premises in Brook Green is frequently higher than on a freehold property.

Will my lawyer be making enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Brook Green.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Brook Green. There are those who purchase a property in Brook Green, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in Brook Green. The conventional set of information sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual question of the vendor to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an environmental search. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be made.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Brook Green I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brook Green for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Brook Green. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you pay the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
