I can't travel far from Yiewsley. I would like to know the understand why all Yiewsley lawyers are not on all bank panels?
Lenders ordinarily restrict either the type or volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must have at least two partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some banks for example HSBC made a decision to limit the size of their panel they permit to act for them. You should note that building societies have no liability for the quality of conveyancing provided by any Yiewsley conveyancer on their approved list. Property fraud was a key driver in the culling of solicitor panels in the last decade even though there are contrary points of view about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics published by HMLR reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out less than three conveyances a year. Those advocating conveyancing panel consolidation ask why law firms should have any entitlement to be on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that conveyancing is not their speciality?

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Yiewsley both have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Yiewsley is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the value of the property. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Yiewsley conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge.

They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
