Executive summary

This pack covers Lot 22 — 14 Milton Road, Manchester M14 5TG — a leasehold house being sold subject to an existing AST at £750 pcm. The pack is materially incomplete: only four of the twenty-six canonical documents are present, with the General Auction Conditions, title plan, drainage/environmental searches, tenancy agreement, management information pack, EPC, Gas Safety Certificate, EICR, and building regulations completion certificate all absent. The three most significant findings are: (1) the lease has approximately 53 years remaining, which is well below the threshold at which many mortgage lenders will lend and which will affect resale and remortgage options; (2) an undischarged mortgage charge in favour of Northern Rock Building Society is registered against the title with no evidence of redemption in the pack; and (3) a 2018 single-storey rear extension has no building regulations completion certificate on file, introducing a potential compliance gap. The buyer's premium stated in the Special Conditions is 5% plus VAT (minimum £6,600), which is materially higher than the 2% assumed in the deal model.

Short Lease — Approximately 53 Years Remaining

Leasehold

The lease states approximately 53 years remaining from a 99-year term starting 1 January 1980. Most mortgage lenders require at least 70–85 years remaining (after the mortgage term) to lend against leasehold property. This is likely to restrict mortgage financing for this purchase and for any future buyer at resale, significantly affecting exit strategy. Lease extension under the Leasehold Reform Act 1993 may be available but will add cost and time.

Undischarged Mortgage Charge — Northern Rock Building Society (2015)

Title

A registered charge dated 4 January 2015 in favour of Northern Rock Building Society is recorded in the Charges Register. The title register itself notes that no evidence of discharge is included in the pack. The pack does not confirm this will be redeemed on completion, though the register suggests the buyer's solicitor should confirm this. If not redeemed prior to or simultaneously with completion, the buyer's title could be subject to the charge.

No Building Regulations Completion Certificate for 2018 Extension

Searches

The Local Authority Search records planning permission (ref 2018/04521/FUL) for a single-storey rear extension granted May 2018, but states that no completion certificate is on file. This means building regulations sign-off cannot be confirmed. This can affect mortgage lending, insurance, and future resale. Indemnity insurance may be required but is not included in the pack.
