I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Woodborough building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Woodborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 requirements for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Will my lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Woodborough.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Woodborough. There are those who buy a property in Woodborough, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Woodborough. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard question of the seller to discover if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Woodborough. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Woodborough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Woodborough differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Woodborough approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Woodborough usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Woodborough or who has acted in the same development.
