I am progressing with the sale of my maisonette in Finedon and the estate agent has just called to say that the purchasers are appointing a new law firm. The reason given is that the mortgage company will only work with property lawyers on their approved list. On what basis would a leading lender only engage with certain law firms rather the firm that they want to select for their conveyancing in Finedon ?
Lenders have always had an approved set of law firms that can act for them, but in recent years big names such as Nationwide, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for over 25 years.
Lending institutions point to the increase in fraud as the reason for the reduction – criteria have been stiffened as a smaller panel is easier to oversee. No lender will say how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is hearing daily from firms that have been removed from panels. Some are unaware that they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. Your buyers are not going to have any impact on this.

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Finedon I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Finedon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of tenancies.
My father-in-law has encouraged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Finedon. Should I find my own solicitor?
No doubt the best way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek referrals from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
