About to purchase a new build flat in Knaresborough. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Knaresborough

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Knaresborough I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Knaresborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

How do I use the search facility to get a costs illustration from a conveyancing solicitor in Knaresborough on the approved list for my lender?

1st choose a lender such as National Westminster Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society or Clydesdale then choose your preferred area for instance Knaresborough. Conveyancing organisations in Knaresborough and across England and Wales should be listed.

I pay a maintenance fee for my property in Knaresborough. Due to losing my job and other issues I fell into arrears with remittance. I negotiated a payment plan but there is still three thousand pounds currently due.

I want to dispose of the property and I am panicking this will threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the arrears first. Do I have to settle before - is this possible?

Do speak with the conveyancer dealing with your Knaresborough conveyancing but one option may be to agree for the arrears to be transferred to the buyers. The contractual price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then deal with the outstanding monies after completion of the sale.
