About to purchase a new build flat in Uxbridge. 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.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Uxbridge
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Uxbridge I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Uxbridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Given that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in Uxbridge I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding thehome move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Uxbridge.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a matter number.

I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Uxbridge. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Even though your last Uxbridge conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I have had difficulty in trying to purchase the freehold in Uxbridge. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the amount due.

Planning permission is required for splitting a single house in Uxbridge into apartments but possibly not for converting back to single dwelling-house so, in answer to your query, yes.
