It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Droylsden. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may be archived with the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Droylsden involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I am being told by my conveyancer that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Droylsden conveyancing?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Droylsden solicitor on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Droylsden where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Droylsden conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

In the main the outlay for major works are not incorporated into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Droylsden obliged leasehold owners to pay into a sinking fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance. It is important to be aware if changing the roof or some other significant cost is due shortly that will be shared by the leaseholders and could well materially increase the the service charges or result in a one time payment.
