I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Chaddesley Corbett building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Chaddesley Corbett conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Chaddesley Corbett I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chaddesley Corbett in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
Am I right to be wary by brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Chaddesley Corbett conveyancing company?
As is the case with many professional services, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend conveyancers to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.
