My lawyer has discovered a defect with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Garforth. The other side have offered defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancer says that he must be satisfied that the lender is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the risk of a conflict of interest, you and the lender are the client. Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

It is is a decade since I acquired my property in Garforth. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Is this a major issue?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Garforth relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Just acquired a detached house in Garforth , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Garforth conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Garforth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Garforth. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Garforth - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Garforth, conveyancing was carried out August 2008. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding flats in Garforth with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2102

With just 76 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
