I today plan to offer on a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing.

Conveyancing advisers have are soon to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Woodbridge ?
The majority of houses in Woodbridge are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in Woodbridge so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Woodbridge conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. As a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer will appraise you on the various issues.
