I am buying a new build flat in Crymych. 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 conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Crymych

Please supply a car parking plan. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Crymych I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Crymych suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to let out our Crymych basement flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Crymych conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Crymych do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Crymych Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

What prohibitions exist in the Crymych Lease? The majority of Crymych leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service charge for maintenance of the block invoiced on behalf of the management company. Should you purchase the apartment you will have to pay this charge, normally in instalments during the year. This can be anything from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal grounds. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to enquire as sometimes it could be many hundreds of pounds. You should want to find out as much as possible concerning the managing agents as they will either make your life much easier or uncomfortable. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical issues such as the cleanliness of the common parts. You should not be afraid to ask other people whether they are happy with their service. In conclusion, be sure you understand the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the relevant party and precisely how they are spending the funds.
