My husband and I are purchasing property in Tiptree. My Conveyancer has never been on on the lender approved list. Is it possible for me to retain my Tiptree conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One will need to have a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities when you take out a mortgage to buy your home. The lawyer will conduct all the necessary due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You may appoint a Tiptree property lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the lawyer appointed is not a member of the bank approved list additional costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Tiptree both have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
