It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Little Haven bank branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Little Haven conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I’m about to sell my garden flat in Little Haven. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as normal because all ground rent and service payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
