When a leasehold property is sold or passed to a new owner it’s known as an assignment.
The new leaseholder's solicitor must:
- tell us about this by sending a formal notice of assignment (notice of transfer)
- pay the fee (the amount is stated in the lease)
- send us a notice of charge if the property has a mortgage
New leaseholder
Once we've received the legal paperwork we’ll contact you (the new owner) with information about:
- your service charges
- building insurance
- signing up for an online MySouthwark account
Check that your solicitor has sent us the paperwork and paid the fee.
Or you can pay the fee and upload a copy of the notice.
