I today plan to offer on a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have just been informed that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Shoreditch. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Shoreditch are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process.

The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the freeholder’spermission to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your conveyancer will appraise you on the various issues.

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Shoreditch conveyancing firm who can help.
