Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Freshwater Bay conveyancing searches.

About to purchase a new build flat in Freshwater Bay. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Freshwater Bay

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Freshwater Bay I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Freshwater Bay for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Freshwater Bay

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Freshwater Bay conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
