Our conveyancer has uncovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in South Oxhey. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner says that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender conditions must be adhered to.
How does conveyancing in South Oxhey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in South Oxhey contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in South Oxhey tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in South Oxhey or who has acted in the same development.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in South Oxhey. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and most are in South Oxhey - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
