I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Hawarden building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Hawarden conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Your lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook section two 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.

As far as conveyancing in Hawarden registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies.

Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I have just started marketing my basement apartment in Hawarden.Conveyancing has not commenced but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process
