I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Shoreditch conveyancer on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Aldermore mortgage has been paid off.

A few days later, the conveyancer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I own a second floor flat in Shoreditch. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for a lease extension?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Shoreditch conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Shoreditch residence is 137 & 139 Haberdasher Street in December 2013. The Tribunal determines in accordance with section 48 and Schedule 13 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease for each Property should be £12,350.00. This case affected 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 72.39 years.

What are the frequently found defects that you come across in leases for Shoreditch properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Shoreditch. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Insurance obligations Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, The Mortgage Works, and Aldermore all have express 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 grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.

Me and my fiance have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we choose to act on our behalf and we are liable for their fees. I have requested Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?

You can enquire of Leeds Building Society what their criteria for panel membership is for a conveyancer.Then ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to use our search facility and we should be able to identify a lawyer in Shoreditch on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
