We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Havering. We have hit a stumbling block. Our loan offer with Halifax expires on 23/10/2025 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 27/10/2025. Can one prolong the mortgage expiry date?
The person best placed to deal with your issue is your solicitors who will hopefully assess whether he or she is better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, vendor’s solicitors, property agents or possibly all three given what has gone on in your house move to date.
I am buying a new build apartment in Havering. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Havering
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Havering is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Havering are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Havering you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Havering may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Havering who can attest this legal document for me?
