How does conveyancing in Netherley differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Netherley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Netherley tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
