We had appointed conveyancing lawyers based in Canning Town on the Aldermore solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Aldermore?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Aldermore but by your Canning Town property lawyer. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Canning Town bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Canning Town conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Canning Town I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Canning Town in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
