Please help. My Chathill lawyer is advising me that he is legally obliged toconduct Chathill conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneysolicitor panel. Is my lawyer correct?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chathill conveyancing searches.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Chathill I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Chathill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
