Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Are Clydesdale entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Consett. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold.

Consett Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing

    Please note if it is fewer than eighty years it will impact the value of the apartment. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with residual term of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the residence for 24 months before you are legally able to carry out a lease extension. Its a good idea to discover as much as you can about the company managing the building as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day issues such as the upkeep of the common parts. Enquire of other people what they think of them. Finally, be sure you know the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the appropriate party and specifically what you get for your money. What is the name of the managing agents?
