My wife and I are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Woodside but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract yet Santander are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Any property lawyer being on a Santander conveyancing panel is obliged to advise Santander of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to notify the price change to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Woodside.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Woodside with a loan from Coventry Building Society. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this extras as it could put at risk my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Woodside I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Woodside in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Woodside. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Woodside - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Woodside conveyancing firm to help?
