It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Skellingthorpe bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Skellingthorpe conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The property lawyer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
Our sealed bid on a property in Skellingthorpe has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Skellingthorpe. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Skellingthorpe conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your property lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to move forward with searches.
