The estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Clydesdale or your broker and finish off any outstanding documentation. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Whimple.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Whimple - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
