I am not well enough to travel far from Bottesford. Please clarify why all Bottesford lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or lawyer’s perspective, the flip side is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and feel it essential to defend themselves against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders have consolidated their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
