It is not clear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Woodford Green building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Woodford Green conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The conveyancer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Woodford Green solicitor - who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Woodford Green postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Woodford Green.
At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Woodford Green agreed to, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The owners have put an offer on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Woodford Green. What do I do now? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Woodford Green conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to press on with searches.
