It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Croxley Green building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Croxley Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, they must follow the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I am buying a new build house in Croxley Green with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Croxley Green from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Croxley Green can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors.
  • If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Croxley Green leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord consenting to such changes. Where you dont have the consents to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is under 80 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you are holding the original share certificate. Arranging a duplicate share certificate is often a time consuming process and frustrates many a Croxley Green home move. If a duplicate share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unresolved.

I am the proprietor of a ground-floor 1960’s flat in Croxley Green. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium due for the purchase of the freehold?

in cases where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the price.
