It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Brockenhurst building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Brockenhurst conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Our sealed bid on a house in Brockenhurst has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Brockenhurst. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with HSBC going?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Brockenhurst conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers will apply for the mortgage with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their lawyer to move forward with searches.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brockenhurst

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. Please supply a car parking plan. 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Brockenhurst is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Brockenhurst are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Brockenhurst you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brockenhurst may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am buying a maisonette mortgage free. I have provided conveyancer with 2 separate forms of photographic identification, bank statement, endless utility bills. Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the money is legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not selling fake watches.

This is because solicitors who deal with money and property on behalf of their clients can be used by criminals wishing to launder money.
