Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Crabtree conveyancing solicitors have been instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the survey? Have you advised Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I can not work out if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Crabtree building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Crabtree conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender panel, she or he must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I have recently realised that I have 72 years left on my flat in Crabtree. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Crabtree.
I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Crabtree, conveyancing formalities finalised July 1998. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Crabtree with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2102
With 76 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
Been searching for a lawyer for leasehold sale conveyancing in Crabtree. I'm selling, simple no mortgage to discharge, no hurry, currently vacant. Received an estimate from a property lawyer for £800 plus VAT which is a tad expensive given that its so straightforward. Is it possible to find less expensive fees for conveyancing in Crabtree?
As it’s a sale only, £500 + VAT would be about the cheapest for a Crabtree solicitor firm.
