I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Ebbw Vale bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Ebbw Vale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the bank approved list, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Ebbw Vale I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ebbw Vale suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
