I am purchasing a property in Waltham Abbey. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Aldermore have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Aldermore your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Aldermore. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Aldermore where a lease fails to comply with these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Waltham Abbey.
I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Waltham Abbey building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Waltham Abbey conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the bank approved list, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Waltham Abbey. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Waltham Abbey and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Waltham Abbey and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex.
