I am buying a new build apartment in South Normanton. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in South Normanton

    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 Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. South Normanton is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in South Normanton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside South Normanton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in South Normanton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the right to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease.

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in South Normanton

It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted South Normanton conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
