Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nationwide are being a right pain. The Shirebrook solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide 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.

The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up HSBC or your broker and finalise any appropriate paperwork. HSBC will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. HSBC will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Shirebrook.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to meet my requirements, at a great price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Shirebrook. Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Shirebrook are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Shirebrook in which case you should be shopping around for a Shirebrook conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house.

It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your solicitor should appraise you on the various issues.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Shirebrook - Examples of Questions you should consider before buying

    The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the lessees have control and although a managing agent is often retained if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent employed by the leaseholders. Best to be warned whether fixing the lift or some other significant cost is pending that will be shared between the leaseholders and will dramatically increase the the service charges or require a specific invoice. You should be aware if it is fewer than eighty years it will affect the value of the apartment. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease.
