Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Wadhurst - 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.

On the whole the outlay for major works tend not to be wrapped into the maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Wadhurst obliged leasehold owners to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance. The majority of Wadhurst leasehold properties will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building levied on behalf of the management company. If you buy the property you will have to meet this amount, normally periodically during the year. This can differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant amount, say around £25-£75 but you should to enquire it because on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. Its a good idea to find out as much as possible concerning the managing agents as they will either make life much easier or a lot more difficult. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to every day issues like the cleanliness of the common parts. Enquire of other people whether they are happy with them. Finally, be sure you understand the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and specifically what it includes.
My husband and I are purchasing a garden flat in Wadhurst. When we first instructed lawyer, we were told they were on all major UK mortgage company panels. Our financial adviser emailed just now to say that they don't appear to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Should we simply pick a new conveyancer that is on their approved list or do we cover the costs for separate representation, with Leeds Building Society selecting their own preferred conveyancer.
When buying a property with mortgage finance it is normal for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancing practitioner has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the conveyancer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to fulfill. Some lenders now insist their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Leeds Building Society to discover if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on Leeds Building Society's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Wadhurst lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it may delay matters as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the equation.
