I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Prestbury conveyancing lawyers are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Clydesdale?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale completed the valuation? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I'm at the point of looking at flats in Prestbury and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a lawyer in place at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Aldermore.

It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the EA. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Aldermore, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Prestbury conveyancer having checked that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Skipton will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Skipton will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Prestbury postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Skipton, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Prestbury.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Prestbury before retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a loan on this type of house.

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Prestbury.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file reference.

What makes a Prestbury lease unmortgageable?

Leasehold conveyancing in Prestbury is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the premises

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Nationwide Building Society, The Mortgage Works, and Aldermore all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.

I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Prestbury, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Prestbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2084

With just 58 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £22,800 and £26,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
