I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Purton building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Purton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the bank panel, she or he must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Purton from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Purton can be reduced if you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ solicitors. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and frustrates many a Purton home move. If a new share is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (where relevant) for this as soon as possible. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should verify this via your conveyancers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the lease term is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. Some Purton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Purton leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord approving such alterations. If you fail to have the consents to hand you should not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer in the first instance.
