we are a couple who are buying a newbuild flat in Buxton with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland.We like our Buxton conveyancing practitioner but Bank of Ireland advised that her practice is not on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Bank of Ireland panel lawyer or keep our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Bank of Ireland use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers must be on the Bank of Ireland approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. 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 Bank of Ireland
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Buxton I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Buxton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
