Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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 partner and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Valley. At the time of instructing our conveyancing practitioner, we were told they were on all major UK bank panels. Our mortgage broker emailed yesterday to say that they don't seem to be on the Co-operative approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we just find a different solicitor that is on their panel or should we pay for dual representation, with Co-operative selecting their own approved conveyancer.
When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is normal for the buyer’s solicitors to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some banks now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should call Co-operative to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on Co-operative's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Valley lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another solicitor into the equation.
