It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Goring bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Goring conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the conveyancing practitioner is on the lender approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

How does conveyancing in Goring differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Goring contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Goring usually purchase 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 Goring or who has acted in the same development.

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Goring conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
