About to place an offer on a leasehold property in Chessington. The property agents assure me that it is usual for flats in Chessington to have less than 75 years unexpired on the lease. I am expecting a mortgage with Platform. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 69 years remaining.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 25/11/2023 the requirements read as follows :

As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Chessington solicitor. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

Clydesdale will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to arrange a slot for the valuation to take place.

I own a renovated Edwardian house in Chessington. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and The Mortgage Works. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking The Mortgage Works to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Chessington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
