Our lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Hedon. The seller’s lawyers have suggested defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our property lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the bank are the client. Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the bank can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your solicitor will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

How does conveyancing in Hedon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hedon approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Hedon usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Hedon or who has acted in the same development.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Hedon. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Hedon - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a basement flat in Hedon, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Hedon with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2082
With 56 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
