My lawyer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Chorlton cum Hardy. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must check that the bank is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. You and the mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Lloyds are being pedantic. The Chorlton cum Hardy solicitor who is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Lloyds are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Lloyds have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Lloyds have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Lloyds may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Chorlton cum Hardy solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Chorlton cum Hardy registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties.

Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Do I need to be concerned that third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a local Chorlton cum Hardy conveyancing practice?

However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers operate an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the lender related work in your home move.
I have recently realised that I have 62 years unexpired on my flat in Chorlton cum Hardy. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to find the landlord.

It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Chorlton cum Hardy.
