Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may affect a commercial site in Wareham?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Wareham will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Wareham. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Wareham.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Wareham it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could cause delays to Wareham commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Wareham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wareham
-
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. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Wareham
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred Wareham conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.
I wish to let out my leasehold flat in Wareham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A lease governs the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Wareham do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Wareham - Examples of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing
-
How much is the ground rent and service charge? Where a Wareham lease has less than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. For most Warehamlease extensions you will need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be entitled to extend the lease. Generally speaking the cost for major works are not built into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Wareham obliged leasehold owners to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance.
We have just become aware that one of the directors of the conveyancing practice acting on the purchase conveyancing in Wareham is an uncle of the owners that we are purchasing from. Is this acceptable?
Provided there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. If you are requiring mortgage finance then the lender may have a say as many lenders have specific instructions on this. For example for Virgin as of 17/4/2024, the requirements read as follows :
