In addition to restricting the nature of firm, some building societies decided to limit the size of their panel they use to represent them. You should note that mortgage companies have no liability for the standard of advice provided by any Little Mill property lawyer on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was the key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are contrary opinions about whether solicitors sat at the center of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law organisations only carry out one or two conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel culls ask why conveyancing firms deserve any entitlement to be listed on a lender panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?

What are the common defects that you see in leases for Little Mill properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Little Mill. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the property

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Little Mill, conveyancing was carried out in 2003. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Little Mill with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2100

You have 76 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
