Our solicitor has uncovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Waddington. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer says that he must ensure that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender specifications have to be complied with.

I moved into my apartment on 11 April and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Waddington advises it will be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Waddington uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Waddington is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Is it best to instruct a Waddington conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities but his firm is located 300kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Waddington conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate.

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Waddington, conveyancing formalities finalised January 2005. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Waddington with a long lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2083
With just 57 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
