I have Fifty Six years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my apartment in Edgwarebury. Conveyancing solicitors on the Tesco Bank panel can deal with such extensions correct?
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Tesco Bank have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 9/11/2026 the requirements read as follows :
My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Edgwarebury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Edgwarebury conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Edgwarebury. Having lived in Edgwarebury for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Edgwarebury?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Edgwarebury. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Edgwarebury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Edgwarebury contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Edgwarebury tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Edgwarebury or who has acted in the same development.
