A leasehold property is where the new owner buys the right to occupy a property for a certain length of time. They’re also subject to some specific conditions contained in the Lease Contract. The duration of time granted by the lease contract is limited to up to 999 years.

We think it is imperative that you select a competent Conveyancer that has years of experience in acting for Leasehold Sales. An experienced Conveyancing Solcitior has dealt with every kind of problems that can come up Leasehold sales, for example:

1. the conveyancer will need to check the length of time still left on the lease as almost all mortgage lenders don’t provide a mortgage if a lease that has under 60 years leftover to run.

2. the leasehold lawyer is required to confirm the specific conditions and requirement in the leasehold contract which may restrict the use, satisfaction and furtherimprovement of the home.

Bare in mind that conveyancing for a leasehold property almost always is more expensive than a normal freehold sale (for more info see: leasehold conveyancing).

Legal indemnity insurance covers the property buyer and the mortgage provider if any loss of value on the property or land as a consequence of any kind of defect or legal issue.

About Croydon

Croydon is a large town in south London, England, 9.5 miles (15.3 km) south of Charing Cross. The principal settlement in the London Borough of Croydon, it is one of the largest commercial districts outside Central London, with an extensive shopping district and night-time economy.[2] Its population of 52,104 at the 2011 census includes the wards of Addiscombe, Broad Green and Fairfield.

Historically part of the hundred of Wallington in the county of Surrey, at the time of the Norman conquest of England Croydon had a church, a mill, and around 365 inhabitants, as recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086.[3] Croydon expanded in the Middle Ages as a market town and a centre for charcoal production, leather tanning and brewing. The Surrey Iron Railway from Croydon to Wandsworth opened in 1803 and was the world’s first public railway. Later nineteenth century railway building facilitated Croydon’s growth as a commuter town for London. By the early 20th century, Croydon was an important industrial area, known for car manufacture, metal working and Croydon Airport. In the mid 20th century these sectors were replaced by retailing and the service economy, brought about by massive redevelopment which saw the rise of office blocks and the Whitgift Centre, the largest shopping centre in London until 2008. Croydon was amalgamated into Greater London in 1965.
