Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mablethorpe

I am about to put an offer on a leasehold flat in Mablethorpe. The property agents say that it is the norm for flats in Mablethorpe to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am taking out a mortgage with Chelsea Building Society. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 72 years left.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 18/6/2025 the requirements read as follows :

85 years from the date of completion of the mortgage. Please ensure that you explain the implications of a short term lease to the borrower.

I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Mablethorpe conveyancer on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Aldermore mortgage has been paid off.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Mablethorpe. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancer. I paid an advanced payment of £200. A couple of days later, the conveyancer contacted me to say that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Barclays are being a right pain. The Mablethorpe solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Mablethorpe for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Mablethorpe conveyancing specialists.

I am purchasing my first flat in Mablethorpe benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my lawyer about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.
