Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Benson. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Benson

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Benson

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Benson conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by HQ.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Benson conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Benson conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with two or three firms including non Benson conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:

What are the legal fees for lease extension work?

I inherited a garden flat in Benson, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Benson with a long lease are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2088

With only 63 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

I have been looking for Benson online conveyancing estimates. Can I be confident that all the Benson practices that are listed on your website are on the lender conveyancing panel?

The law firms on our directory have assured us via an online form that they are on the lender panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the bank panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Benson firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is not accurate.
