Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brough

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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Brough. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Brough - 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.

I bought a leasehold flat in Brough, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Brough with a long lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2084

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence.

There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

We are midway through purchasing a property in Brough. Conveyancing solicitor has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our Natwest valuation?

Brough conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a peppercorn rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability too much.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a significant effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
