My partner and I are at the point of viewing apartments in Egremont and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this stage? I will be getting a home loan with UBS.

It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Egremont building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Egremont conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Egremont. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
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 Egremont and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
There are plenty of properties in Egremont on unadopted roads. I am purchasing one such property. What would be the pros and cons of buying a residence on a privately owned road?
Egremont conveyancing solicitors will be familiar with conveyancing propertieson private. Your conveyancing practitioner will investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that owners pay into for the upkeep of the road. If there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than publicly adopted.
