Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the flip side is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and regard it crucial to protect them against mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. 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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Knowle
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Knowle conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by head office.
