Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Pendlebury. 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.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Pendlebury

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply 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. Please supply a car parking plan.

I was pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Pendlebury to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site over a competitor’s?

We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My partner and I may need to rent out our Pendlebury basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Pendlebury conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Your lease governs relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Pendlebury do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

I bought a 1st floor flat in Pendlebury, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1999. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Pendlebury with a long lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2088

With just 63 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

I note that you have a search directory identifying law firms on the bank conveyancing panel. Do Pendlebury conveyancing firms pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for my own conveyancing?
