I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Penmaenmawr building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Penmaenmawr conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the lender. 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 remaining.
Intending to buy a maisonette in Penmaenmawr. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Penmaenmawr conveyancer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Penmaenmawr I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Penmaenmawr for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
