Leasehold Conveyancing Surbiton
A leasehold property is when the buyer gets the right to live in a property for a selected period of time. Leasehold owners might be subject to the restrictive conditions written in the “Lease”. The length of time granted by the lease contract can be up to 999 years.
It’s very important you use a competent Conveyancing Solicitor that has a lot of experience in managing Leasehold Conveyancing. A knowledgeable Leasehold Conveyancer will know every kind of issues that will come with Lease Contracts, like:
1. the lawyer must check the length of the unexpired term left on the lease contract because almost all mortgage providers won’t give out a mortgage for a leasehold property that has less than 60 years leftover.
2. your leasehold lawyer must confirm the small terms, conditions and requirement written in the lease agreement that might effect the use, satisfaction and furtherimprovement of the leasehold property.
Bare in mind that the legal cost for a leasehold property is often more expensive than on a normal freehold property (for more info see: leasehold conveyancing).

Conveyancers have Indemnity insurance for conveyancing processes to insure you from any problems with the house that can’t be resolved swiftly, or can’t be fixed at all.

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ (CML) handbook for conveyancers says: “You must effect an indemnity insurance policy whenever the Lenders’ Handbook identifies that this is an acceptable or required course to us to ensure that the property has a good and marketable title at completion.”
