I have recentlydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Poynton for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out 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 Poynton conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Poynton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Poynton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

That being said we have not seen a copy of the lender Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
