One must use a lawyer to deal with the formalities when you require a mortgage to purchase your home. The lawyer will carry out all the appropriate investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One can select a Eynsham lawyer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancer appointed is not on the lender approved list additional fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so if your lawyer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years remaining on my lease in Eynsham. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent may be useful to conduct investigations and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Eynsham.
