Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cherry Burton

I am nearing exchange of contracts for my apartment in Cherry Burton and the EA has just text me to say that the purchasers are swapping conveyancer. I am told that this is due to the fact that the mortgage company will only deal with solicitors on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a big named lender only work with specific lawyers rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Cherry Burton ?

UK lenders have always had panels of law firms that can act for them, but in the past few years big names such as HSBC, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have worked with them for many years.

Banks attribute this action to a rise in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to maintain. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society says it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are unlikely to have any sway in the decision.

We are about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Cherry Burton. We encountered a problem. Our mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland runs out on 13/10/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 15/10/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan expiry date?

The person best placed to deal with your question is your conveyancer who is in a position to determine whether they should be discussing with the mortgage company, seller’s conveyancers, property agents or conceivably all parties taking into account the circumstances your house move to date.

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Cherry Burton I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Cherry Burton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Cherry Burton and how can you help?

The 1954 Act provides protection to commercial lessees, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal lease and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
