We are hoping to buy a 1 bedroom flat in Ascot with a homeloan from Leeds Building Society.We like our Ascot conveyancing practitioner but Leeds Building Society says her practice is not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Leeds Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list.

The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society

How does conveyancing in Ascot differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Ascot come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Ascot usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ascot or who has acted in the same development.

Leasehold conveyancing in Ascot is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, Skipton Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.

    How much is the service charge and ground rent on the property? Its a good idea to find out as much as possible about the managing agents as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to daily issues like the upkeep of the common parts.
