Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Grange Over Sands conveyancing searches.

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I’m about to sell my ground floor flat in Grange Over Sands. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal given that all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

My folks cant seem to find their Grange Over Sands land registry title on the site. They recall that 50 years ago when they acquired the house there were complications regarding the post code not being recognised in some systems.
Nearly all residences in Grange Over Sands should be revealed. Have you attempted a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it will mention all the houses and flats inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The property might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title papers which might be with your parent’s lender.
