Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied 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.

My husband and I are planning to purchase a four room maisonettein South London with a mortgage from a mortgage company. We like our solicitor in South London however our lender advise he's not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel firms or keep our South London conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in South London : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
