We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Ulverston

We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they understand (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Ulverston conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.

What makes a Ulverston lease unmortgageable?

Leasehold conveyancing in Ulverston is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Insurance obligations

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Barnsley Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.

I bought a garden flat in Ulverston, conveyancing formalities finalised March 2003. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar properties in Ulverston with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090

You have 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
