My conveyancer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our solicitor says that he must check that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions 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 mortgage company are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gerrards Cross and Chalfont for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
