I am about to put a bid on a leasehold apartment in Newark. The selling agents tell me that it is usual for flats in Newark to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am obtaining a loan with Platform. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 69 years to go.

Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 27/3/2025 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Newark. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

In surfing the world wide web for the term on line conveyancing in Newark it shows results of numerous property lawyersin the area. How do I determine which is the right solicitor for the sale of my house?

My fiance and I are buying a four bedroom flatin Newark with a mortgage from a lender. We would like to retain our solicitor in Newark but our bank inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our bank panel solicitors or keep our Newark conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Newark lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company home loan issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Newark : a mortgagee 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. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
