Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Saffron Walden is more expensive?
Saffron Walden leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Saffron Walden. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Saffron Walden. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Saffron Walden?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs early afternoon.

It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Saffron Walden bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Saffron Walden conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
The lawyer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
