I am getting a offer of a home loan from Santander. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Arnos Grove. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I have 7378 less than 75 years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my flat in Arnos Grove. Conveyancing solicitors on the Bank of Ireland panel can deal with such extensions right?
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 11/12/2024 the requirements read as follows :

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Arnos Grove before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold property.

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Arnos Grove conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Arnos Grove conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with two or three firms including non Arnos Grove conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:
-
How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation? If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason?
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Arnos Grove conveyancing firm to assist?
if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to decide the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Arnos Grove residence is 23 Beaconsfield Road in July 2013. The Tribunals decided that the amount payable was £31,203 for the freehold. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 70.31 years.
