My wife and I are acquiring a leasehold flat in Greenhithe. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Greenhithe conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender list of approved lawyers?

You will need to instruct a conveyancer to complete the legal work required if you require a mortgage to buy your home. The conveyancer will conduct all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in order. One may instruct a Greenhithe property lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel supplemental costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications can be submitted, so where your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should do so.

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Greenhithe. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Yorkshire Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Yorkshire Building Society to clarify?

You need to assess 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 Greenhithe 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please supply a car parking plan.
