I have since found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a leasehold house in Aylsham. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Aylsham are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process.

Aylsham Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Queries before Purchasing

    Plenty Aylsham leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service charge for the upkeep of the building levied by the management company. If you purchase the apartment you will have to meet this liability, normally in instalments accross the year. This can be anything from several hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal grounds. There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a exorbitant sum, say around £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because on occasion it can be many hundreds of pounds. The answer will be helpful as a) areas can result in problems in the building as the common areas may begin to deteriorate if services remain unpaid b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the managing agents you will wish to have complete disclosure How many years are left on the lease?

My husband and I are buying a 2 bedroom flat in Aylsham. At the point of instructing our conveyancer, they told us that they were on all major UK bank panels. Our financial adviser called today to advise that they don't appear to be on the Skipton approved list. Were it to be true, what should we do? Should we simply choose a new conveyancer that is on their panel or should we cover the costs for separate representation, with Skipton appointing their own approved solicitor.

When acquiring a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the property lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the property lawyer has to meet. Some lenders now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should call Skipton to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Skipton's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Aylsham solicitors, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another property lawyer into the mix.
