Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cranfield

My lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Cranfield. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must check that the bank is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancing practitioner will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I have a terraced Georgian property in Cranfield. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cranfield and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Cranfield prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Cranfield. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
