Our conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the property we are buying in Droylsden. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer says that he must ensure that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the lender?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Droylsden

I am attracted to a two apartments in Droylsden which have about forty five years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
