Is it realistic for conveyancing in Pembroke to be completed in two weeks?
First, If you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will make use of local relationships and knowledge. It is possible that they may have transacted previoushouses in the same street. Therefore consider using a Pembroke conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is claimed that just under twenty per cent of Pembroke conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the conveyancing being delayed by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves every year. Many Pembroke conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check as early as possible.

The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
