It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Tenby conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

    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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Tenby with the aim of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Tenby can be reduced if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers.
    • If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Tenby home move. If a reissued share is required, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Tenby leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord consenting to such works. If you fail to have the paperwork in place you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your conveyancer before hand. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable verify this by asking your lawyers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is under 80 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale.
