Our lawyer has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Ettington. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must be satisfied that the bank is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

Just acquired a detached house in Ettington , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Ettington conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Ettington is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

The prefered form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from being in charge if their destiny and although a managing agent is frequently retained where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Please note if it is no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. Check with your lender that they are happy with the length of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. For most Ettingtonlease extensions you would be required to have been the owner of the premises for two years in order to be legally able to extend the lease. Who are the managing agents?
