Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold 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.

Last August I purchased a leasehold house in Enfield Lock. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

My sealed bid on property in Enfield Lock was accepted, the seller does nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The vendors have submitted an offer on a property, although it’s not been accepted yet, and has viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Lock. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is normal to have concerns where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Enfield Lock conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
