Main reasons to let us help you choose a local conveyancing solicitor in Wavertree

  • 1 Cut price packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these companies are often based hundreds of miles away with little appreciation of the factors that impact property transactions in Wavertree
  • 2 Firms that specialise in conveyancing in Wavertree are familiar with the local issues peculiar to Wavertree and therefore you may benefit from better guidance and speedier conveyancing.
  • 3 Wavertree property lawyers work in partnership with Wavertree estate agents, house builders, surveyors, mortgage companies and other professionals to make sure that a quality service is offered to clients every step of the way, never losing sight of the time-critical nature behind your conveyancing transaction
  • 4 Lawyer conveyancing solicitors have excellent personal links with Wavertree estate agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 5 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Wavertree is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wavertree

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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 provide 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? 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.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Wavertree I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wavertree for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Wavertree. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Wavertree - Sample of Queries before Purchasing

    Most Wavertree leasehold apartments will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building invoiced on behalf of the freeholder. If you buy the apartment you will have to pay this charge, usually quarterly throughout the year. This may be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a large amount, say about £50-£100 but you should to enquire it because on occasion it can be many hundreds of pounds. In the main the cost for major works tend not to be incorporated into the maintenance charges, albeit that some managing agents in Wavertree ask tenants to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major works. What is the length of the lease?
