The owners of the home we are purchasing hired a conveyancing practitioner in Reddish who has recommended a preliminary contract with a payment two thousand pounds. Are such contracts recommended for Reddish conveyancing transactions?
There are two main concerns with signing a lock out agreement (sometimes known as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing transaction itself, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it may transpire to be unhelpful. It is not strongly advocated amongst Reddish conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - a jilted buyer should not expect to be granted an injunction to prohibit the vendor selling to another buyer, so the only remedy available under the agreement will be the reimbursement of abortive costs and, in rare circumstances, the extra payment of penalties.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Reddish. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this provision is primarily there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
We previously instructed conveyancers locally in Reddish on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further amount for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Reddish lawyer. Some firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
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 Reddish building society branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Reddish conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The property lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 left on the lease.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Reddish I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Reddish suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
