Question: 5.8.5. Does the lender accept security which comprises one of two leasehold flats in a building where the borrower also owns the freehold reversion of the other flat and the other leaseholder owns the freehold reversion in the borrower's flat? If so, are there any specific requirements?
| Lender | Answer |

Under bullet 1 clause 5.8.5 - Yes, we require our security to include the freehold reversion to the other flat(s) as well as the leasehold flat to be owned by the borrower. If only a share of the freehold is owned by the borrower we require the conveyancer or solicitor to confirm that this share would be transferred simultaneously with the leasehold interest if we were ever to enforce our security. If this confirmation cannot be provided, then a suitable form of trust deed must be entered into on or prior to completion which contains provisions for the appropriate legal and beneficial interests in the freehold to be transferred simultaneously with the leasehold interest should we ever exercise our power of sale. Under bullet 2 clause 5.8.5 - Yes, but cross leasehold arrangements such as, for example, Tyneside flats are not acceptable where the borrower is/will be a resident landlord under relevant legislation. If acceptable, we require our security to include the freehold reversion to the other flat as well as the leasehold flat to be owned by the borrower. |
