A leasehold ownership is where the buyer gets the right to own and occupy a home for a selected length of time. Leasehold owners might be subject to other specific terms and conditions within the “Lease”. The duration of time acknowledged by the lease can be up to 999 years.

We think it is imperative that you choose a competent Conveyancer that has a lot of experience in managing Leasehold Conveyancing. A knowledgeable Conveyancing Solcitior knows all the types of problems that will come up Leasehold sales, like:

1. the conveyancer will need to check out the duration of the unexpired term left on the lease contract as almost all mortgage lenders won’t give out a mortgage for a leasehold property that has under 60 years left.

2. your leasehold lawyer must check the specific terms, conditions and specifications in the lease that could effect the usage, enjoyment and furtheralterations of the property.
