Residential Property

If you own a lease hold property and wish to carry out any works you will need the consent of the Landlord and legal documentation reflecting what has been agreed. We have dealt with many of these and are able to assist where required.

We can assist in amending the terms of the lease and other variations to the title documentation.

We are experienced in both Freehold and Leasehold property matters and so are happy to explain and guide you through the process of each.

Freeholds tend to be house’s while Leaseholds are normally flats.

There are also Freeholds of flats which can be confusing to many people and we are of course happy to explain these and again guide you through the process. If you are buying a Leasehold flat you sometimes also purchase a share of the Freehold and this can be done by a share in the Freehold Company or actually jointly owning with other flat owners in your own names.

We have acted for a number of new developments advising and preparing documentation for the developers or indeed advising purchasers in connection with buying a property on a new development.

Should you therefore be a developer we would be happy to advise you on the setting up of the documentation in a sale of the plots or flats.

Should you be interested in buying on a new development we can advise you of the process from the outset, whether the development is finished or whether you are buying off plan.

As a memeber of the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme we are on all the major mortgage lenders panels and so can act and assist you in mortgage and re mortgage requirements.

We are experienced in the grant of leases whether they be long residential leases or short rental leases.

We have acted on a number of new developments where a number of leases are granted at the same time and have also acted on the grant of individual leases with relation to both small and large freehold properties.

If you are being threatened with forfeiture of your lease we can assist you by advising you of your rights and also in combating the forfeiture proceedings.

If you are buying in joint names we can advise you on whether you should be registered as joint tenants or tenants in common and also whether you need to take out a trust deed to assist you with detailing your respective shares and responsibilities in connection with the property.

We have acted for many clients in connection with their right to buy of local authorities and should you require any advice in this connection please do not hesitate to contact us.

The transaction can seem daunting to start with but we feel once explained should be easy to understand.

The Help to Buy scheme was introduced by the Government to assist first time buyers in getting on the property ladder.

We have acted in Help to Buy property purchases in the past and are happy to assist you with any questions or queries you might have in this connection.

Likewise we can advise you on Party Wall matters should you be intending to build, or your neighbour build, on a Party or shared wall.
