My offer was accepted on an apartment in Winterbourne on 17/9/2024, valuation was booked 2 days after, received a clean bill of health. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a apartment in Winterbourne has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your estate agent will need to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Barclays or your broker and finalise any relevant paperwork. Barclays will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Barclays will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Winterbourne.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Winterbourne I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Winterbourne suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
