Please note that where the lease has less than 80 years it will affect the salability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have owned the premises for a couple of years in order to be legally able to carry out a lease extension.

My nephew is just in the process of moving house, the home loan was agreed last week in principle. After the offer was accepted on apartment we called the mortgage company to issue the formal offer. We were disappointed to hear that mortgage companies do not accept all solicitor, they need to be on their approved list, is this correct?
Mortgage Companies tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Enderby conveyancer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
