The Malton conveyancing firm handling our Malton conveyancing has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s course or action correct?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I own a leasehold flat in Malton. Conveyancing was finalised in 2010. I have been told that I should not allow the lease length get too low. Is this correct?
Malton leasehold properties are for a set period - often ninety nine years when they commenced. However a significant appartments in Malton were built or converted in the 60’s and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. This may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders generally require leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching seventy five years. To increase the saleability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is less than eighty years the amount to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
