Battersea apartment mortgages: leases, charges and building checks

Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

A new-build apartment, mansion flat and converted property can raise different mortgage questions. The advertised price is only one part of the budget: service charges, ground rent where applicable and planned works can affect ongoing costs. Ask for the lease information early.

For a block of flats, the lender may need building-safety information before accepting the property. An EWS1 form is not required for every building. The documents needed depend on the building and the lender’s assessment. Your solicitor should also review the legal and financial implications of any known issues.

What to prepare before your mortgage review

  • Obtain the lease term, service charges and details of planned major works.

  • Ask the seller or developer what building-safety information is available.

  • Disclose incentives, expected completion dates and any planned letting.

Speak to Ria Ali, Principal Mortgage & Protection Adviser, about your plans. Explore apartment mortgage advice and contractor mortgages. Mortgage options depend on your circumstances, the property and the lender’s assessment.
