In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Hatch End what are the most common lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Hatch End. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Insurance obligations
You will encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
