As you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must check the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to UBS where a lease does not meet these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Waddington.

I was pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Waddington to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above another?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Waddington

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Waddington conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Waddington. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Waddington - 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.

    It would be prudent to discover as much as possible about the company managing the block as they will either make life much simpler or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day issues like the tidiness of the communal areas. Enquire of other people what they think of them. In conclusion, be sure you understand the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes. Where a Waddington lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the value of the flat. Check with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be be obliged to have owned the property for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease. It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other significant cost is due in the near future that will be shared amongst the tenants and may well dramatically increase the the service costs or require a one time invoice.
