I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Nat West. I would like to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in East Barming. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
I am buying a new build apartment in East Barming. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in East Barming
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in East Barming I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Barming for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in East Barming
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred East Barming conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.
