What will a local search tell me concerning the property my wife and I buying in Wavertree?
Wavertree conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example Searchflow The local search is essential in every Wavertree conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Wavertree I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Wavertree suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I've found a house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have since found out that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Wavertree. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Wavertree in which case you should be looking for a Wavertree conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses.

The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property.

Does the lease have more than 80 years unexpired? Does the lease include onerous restrictions?
My husband and I are buying a three room bungalowin Wavertree with a mortgage from a bank. We like our lawyer in Wavertree yet our bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our lender panel firms or keep our Wavertree conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Wavertree : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
