You must have a lawyer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to buy your home. The lawyer will carry out all the relevant legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You could appoint a Thornton property lawyer of your choice. However, if the conveyancer selected is not a member of the bank approved list supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so if your lawyer has not previously sought membership they should do so.

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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
