I plan on purchasing property in Acklam. My lawyer is not on the bank conveyancing list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Acklam conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company approved list?

You will need to have a conveyancer to deal with the legal work required when you need a loan to buy your property. They will carry out all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. One may appoint a Acklam conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, if the property lawyer appointed is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel further fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so where your solicitor has not in the past applied for membership they should do so.

What makes a Acklam lease unacceptable for security purposes?

Leasehold conveyancing in Acklam is not unique. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

A duty to insure the building Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall

You could encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Halifax, Chelsea Building Society, and Aldermore all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
