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. 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.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may put forward conveyancers to retain. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that most lenders specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender related work in your house move.

Am in the process of purchasing my 1st house in Wapping. Conveyancing lawyer already selected. The mortgage adviser pointed out that a survey is not appropriate as the property is just fifteen years old.

You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the premises is over 10 years old the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report could be enough. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend additional investigation if appropriate. Where there are any indications of problems seek a full structural survey.
