I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Newbury Park. 95% of the properties have already been sold. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Newbury Park?

We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Bank of Ireland as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Newbury Park. Do we need to select a bricks and mortar Newbury Park solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Newbury Park. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Newbury Park building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Newbury Park conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one near me in Newbury Park I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Newbury Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Newbury Park where we see a few leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Newbury Park conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Newbury Park conveyancing firm to represent me?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price payable.
