It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Oakdale building society branch on numerous occasions and was informed it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Oakdale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancing practitioner has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your lender. 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Oakdale. There are those who buy a house in Oakdale, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Oakdale. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to discover whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental search. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Oakdale completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
