My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from HSBC as we wish to conduct improvements to our house in Earls Court. Do we need to choose a high street Earls Court solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
HSBC do not ordinarily appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Earls Court bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Earls Court conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Your property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 have instructed a Earls Court conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Santander will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Santander will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Earls Court postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Earls Court.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

You can instruct a conveyancer now so that the lawyer can open the file so they can do their ID checks etc. If and when you wish them to commence work they will seek a deposit usually about £200. That should normally be after you have the loan offer from the bank and valuation report, however should you wish to speed the process you can start the ball rolling sooner albeit risking some money.
