Our client owned a residential property set within approximately 15 acres of land, subject to an existing mortgage. They were exploring the option of a lifetime mortgage to release equity while retaining ownership of their home.

🚧 The Challenge

This case presented a number of issues:

● The property was already subject to an existing mortgage.

● The lifetime mortgage lender only wanted to place a charge on the house and a small area of land less than 1 acre.

● As some firms restrict their services to properties with smaller acreages, many solicitors were unable to act due to the size of the land.

✅ The Outcome

Drawing on our decades of specialist experience in resolving complex cases, our team facilitated the successful partitioning of the land.

Following the registration of updated title deeds the client was able to secure a lifetime mortgage against the residential property and garden land only. The remaining land was excluded allowing flexibility for our client.

💡 Top Legal Tip

Ensure that clients have a properly drawn up plan of the land to be separated as this will help avoid any delays or complications with lenders and the bank.

If you are advising on a flat purchase or remortgage, it is always worth checking the title deeds carefully to confirm whether the flat is freehold or leasehold.

A true freehold flat can raise concerns for lenders which can impact your client’s options. Whereas a well-drafted leasehold structure or a properly set up share of freehold arrangement provides the clarity lenders seek.

While conveyancing focuses on the legal aspects of your transaction, a survey provides a detailed report on the condition of the property. It helps identify any structural issues or potential risks. Having both in place ensures you are fully informed before completing your purchase.

Our expert team can guide you through every stage of the process, providing clear, practical advice to support your decisions.

A common question we’re asked is about timescales. Most conveyancing transactions take around 10–14 weeks, although this can vary depending on factors such as mortgage arrangements, the length of the property chain, and how quickly documents are completed.

At Barton Law, our expert Conveyancing Team understands how important it is to reach completion as quickly and smoothly as possible. We take the time to understand what matters most to you, offering clear, practical guidance and keeping you fully informed every step of the way.
