Property LawThis section takes a look at laws governing buying property or renting. The first thing to know about any property is whether it is “freehold” or “leasehold”. Most houses are known to be sold on a freehold lease. It means the buyer owns the house and the ground that it stands on. Flats and properties such as business premises are usually sold on a leasehold basis. The land, and often the main building itself, is owned by a landlord who leases it for a set period.
The landlord and leaseholder have certain rights and responsibilities: leaseholders must follow the terms of their lease and pay a “service charge” to cover the costs of maintenance. Landlords must maintain the property.
If you want to buy a property you should make your initial offer “subject to contract”. If a survey then finds a problem with the property, terms of lease, or anything else such as disputed boundaries, you can pull out. Once a contract has been signed it's legally binding, but both sides can claim compensation if the deal falls through.
The government recently announced new laws that mean anyone selling a property must have a “sellers pack”, which includes information such as “buildings surveys”, that are currently only given when contracts are exchanged.
Buying a property usually involves solicitors, estate agents, surveyors and unless you're buying with cash, a mortgage provider. You can do some parts yourself, such as the 'conveyancing,' but it's better to get the professionals to do it for you, even if it's expensive.
