Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Nottingham. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Nottingham

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

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.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

I have just appointed agents to market my ground floor flat in Nottingham. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all ground rent and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
