I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Weymouth. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Weymouth - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability? The majority of Weymouth leasehold flats will have a service charge for maintenance of the building set by the management company. Should you buy the flat you will have to meet this contribution, normally periodically during the year. This may be anything from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a exorbitant sum, say about £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it could be surprisingly expensive. Is anyone aware of any major works anticipated that will likely add a premium to the service fees?
