Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this.

You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of homes in South Hylton are registered electronically at Land Registry. If you need to prove evidence of proprietorship or are selling or re-mortgaging your conveyancing practitioner should obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.

If you feel there may be other documents or you have any other queries please e-mail your request with details of the transaction and documents you need to filerequest@clc-uk.org. The CLC will let you know what information they have and any additional information they may need before they are in a position to identify and send the documents to you. Following an intervention it may take some time for the CLC to access archived files and documents, but your request will be actioned with reasonable haste.
