Me and my partner are intending to acquire a 1 bedroom flat in Hoylake with a mortgage. We have a Hoylake conveyancer, but the bank says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to appoint one of the lender panel solicitors or retain our Hoylake conveyancer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We regard this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Hoylake conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hoylake. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Hoylake - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.

Does the lease contain onerous restrictions? Who is in charge of the block? Where a Hoylake lease has less than eighty years it will affect the salability of the flat. Check with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will probably need a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be be obliged to have owned the premises for a couple of years before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension.
