Some advice if I may. My Wooburn Green conveyancer is advising me that he has toapply for Wooburn Green conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wooburn Green conveyancing searches.

As long as you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be documented by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and obtain up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Wooburn Green I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Wooburn Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected 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 could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
I have just started marketing my garden flat in Wooburn Green. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
