I am selling my home in Hadleigh and the EA has just called to advise that the purchasers are switching law firm. I am told that this is due to the fact that the mortgage company will only deal with property lawyers on their conveyancing panel. On what basis would a leading mortgage company only deal with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Hadleigh ?
Banks have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in recent years big names such as Yorkshire Building Society, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have acted for them for over 25 years.
Lending institutions point to the increase in fraud by way of justification for the reduction – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Some do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are unlikely to have any impact on this.

I am attracted to a couple of apartments in Hadleigh which have in the region of forty five years left on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

This question is important as a) areas can result in problems for the block as the common areas may start to deteriorate where maintenance remain unpaid b) if the leaseholders have an issue with the running of the building you will want to know about it
