Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Salisbury costs more?
The conveyancing fees on a leasehold premises in Salisbury is often higher as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the supplemental work necessary in communicating with the freeholder and management company to obtain information about whether the rent and service charges have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Salisbury. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Salisbury
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan. 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Salisbury I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Salisbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
