I plan on buying a maisonette in Adlington. My lawyer is not listed on the lender conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to appoint my Adlington conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
You have a number of choices available to you here
- Complete the purchase with your chosen Adlington lawyer but your mortgage company will no doubt appoint a lawyer from their approved list. The net result is additional charges together with probable delay.
- Get a fresh lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your property lawyer to do everything within their powers to get accepted on the bank’s panel of solicitors

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to be perfect, at a great price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Adlington. Conveyancing lawyers have are about to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Adlington ?
The majority of houses in Adlington are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are purchasing in Adlington so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Adlington conveyancing practitioner and check that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your lawyer should appraise you on the various issues.
I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Adlington, conveyancing having been completed in 2004. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Adlington with an extended lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2084
You have 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £23,800 and £27,400 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I would be grateful if you could explain what options are open to me if my Adlington conveyancing searches reveals detrimental entries?

You should note that although you are purchasing the property and may be content to live with the search results, your building society or bank may not, and ultimately they have the word say.
