My Carnforth lawyer has discovered an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Carnforth will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain works or need the permission of another owner. Certain works require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Carnforth. I have a mortgage offer with Nationwide. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nationwide, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Carnforth , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Carnforth conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Carnforth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Carnforth I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Carnforth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
There are only Sixty One years left on my lease in Carnforth. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to find the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent should be helpful to try and locate and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Carnforth.
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Carnforth, conveyancing was carried out January 2005. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?

With just 57 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
