It is unclear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Dolwyddelan bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Dolwyddelan conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
The solicitor must follow the CML Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

The solicitors handling our conveyancing in Dolwyddelan has sent documents to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HMLR?
Whilst most properties in Dolwyddelan are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Dolwyddelan that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Dolwyddelan property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Dolwyddelan conveyancing practitioners should be able to handle this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty prevails the prevailing proposition presently is for the vendor’s solicitor to register the title first and thereafter sell - this undoubtedly cause a significant delay.
