High Rise Flats Conveyancing
High-rise flat property transactions have become increasingly complex following the Grenfell Tower tragedy in 2019 and the introduction of new legislation within the Building Safety Act 2022. At Lester Campbell we have the experience and knowledge to guide you through the conveyancing process whether you are purchasing or selling an apartment or flat in a building with five or more storeys. As your dedicated Conveyancer we will act clearly and efficiently on your behalf and be on hand to answer any questions along the way.
For clients looking to buy a flat in a building with 5 or more storeys, we will:
- Report on the Building Safety Act 2022 implications and what you might be liable to pay to fix any fire safety problems in the building
- Report on historical defects as well as current defects
- Assess whether the property meets your lenders requirements and report out to your lender where appropriate to do so
For clients looking to sell a flat in a building with 5 or more storeys, we will:
- Check if you are liable to pay to fix fire safety problems with your building – your buyer will inherit your liability!
- Assist with completion and service of the Leaseholder Deed of Certificate Form and service upon the landlord
- Check whether or not you are a qualifying leaseholder based on the responses to the Leaseholder Deed of Certificate and what impact that might have on your sale.
- Assist with obtaining all relevant Fire Safety information from the landlord to enable the buyers solicitors to report out to the buyer and the buyer’s lender with their assessment as early as possible.
We have the expertise to guide you through what can often be a complex process and instil absolute confidence at every step. There may be hurdles along the way, but we will offer guidance and solutions to enable you to make informed decisions and proceed with absolute confidence.
