I am under pressure from the seller of a property in Walthamstow to sign contracts within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
In a situation where you are under time constraints to sign contracts we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and knowledge. It is possible that they may have handled otherhomes in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Walthamstow conveyancing lawyer. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that nearly one in five of Walthamstow conveyancing deals are suspended or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being delayed by as much as three weeks. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Most Walthamstow conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Walthamstow I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Walthamstow for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
