I can not work out if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Knaresborough building society branch on various occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Knaresborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
My sealed bid on a property in Knaresborough has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Knaresborough. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with going?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Knaresborough conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must check that your is on the approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers would apply for a home loan with and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their to press on with the conveyancing in Knaresborough.
