My property lawyer in Claydon is not listed on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Claydon solicitors but Norwich and Peterborough Building Society will need to use a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees and cause delays.
- Choose a new solicitor to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Claydon I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Claydon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Claydon. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Claydon - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
