Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Droylsden conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel?

Droylsden conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.

we are a couple who are buying a newbuild apartment in Droylsden with a homeloan from Clydesdale.We like our Droylsden conveyancing solicitor but Clydesdale advised that his firm is not on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Clydesdale panel solicitor or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Clydesdale panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Clydesdale use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Clydesdale approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Droylsden I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Droylsden for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

The benefit of a local Droylsden conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Droylsden conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.

I am looking at a couple of maisonettes in Droylsden both have approximately forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Droylsden is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the value of the premises. The majority of purchasers and banks, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Droylsden conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

    You should be aware that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the flat. Check with your lender that they are willing to go ahead with the loan given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for a couple of years in order to be legally able to extend the lease. Who takes responsibility for maintaining and repairing the building? What is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the apartment?
