My husband and I are hoping to buy a newly converted flat in Stamfordham with a residential mortgage from Chelsea Building Society.We use our Stamfordham conveyancing practitioner but Chelsea Building Society informed us she’s not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Chelsea Building Society panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Chelsea Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society

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.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Stamfordham I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stamfordham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
