I today plan to offer on a house that seems to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have just discovered that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a leasehold house in Shotley Bridge. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Shotley Bridge ?
The majority of houses in Shotley Bridge are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Shotley Bridge so you should seriously consider looking for a Shotley Bridge conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct alterations. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your conveyancer will report to you on the legal implications.

You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.

Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
