Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hartlepool

We are a couple about to sign contracts for a leasehold flat in Hartlepool. We encountered a problem. The loan offer with Leeds Building Society runs out on 26/6/2025 but the sellers are putting forward a completion date of 30/6/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?

The person best placed to address this question is your lawyer who is in a position to determine if he or she is corresponding with the mortgage broker, vendor’s conveyancers, property agents or indeed all parties taking into account the circumstances your transaction to date.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hartlepool?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I have recently realised that I have 68 years left on my flat in Hartlepool. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply 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 demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to track down the landlord. On the whole a specialist may be useful to try and locate and prepare an expert document which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Hartlepool.

Hartlepool Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Queries before Purchasing

    Does the lease contain onerous restrictions? The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the lessees benefit from being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is often retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. Best to be warned if redecorating or some other significant cost is due in the near future that will be shared between the leasehold owners and will materially increase the the service costs or necessitate a specific invoice.

Me and my fiance are about to exchange on the purchase a house in Hartlepool but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the vendor of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however the bank will not agree to this. Why were they informed?

Any conveyancer listed on a lender conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform the mortgage company of any variations to the purchase amount. In the event that you did not allow your solicitor to disclose the reduction to your lender then they would have to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
