I am buying a new build flat in Rayners Lane. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rayners Lane

    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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Rayners Lane

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Rayners Lane conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years unexpired on my flat in Rayners Lane. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent would be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Rayners Lane.

I am the leaseholder of a basement flat in Rayners Lane. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for a lease extension?

Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Rayners Lane conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Rayners Lane property is GFF 1 Holyrood Avenue in May 2014. The Tenant wished to acquire a new (extended) lease and applied to the Willesden County Court who granted a vesting order on 20* March2013. The Tribunal decied that the premium to be paid was £9,062 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term was 79 years.

Should one remove a departed person's name from the title register for a house in Rayners Lane?

If a Rayners Lane property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, their name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a sale your lawyer would simply need to supply proof why the other proprietor is not included in the transfer, normally this takes the form of a grant of probate.

With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler for the sale of the property you can arrange to have the deceased name removed from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
