With only 68 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings.

My partner and I about to exchange buying a property in Benson but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the current proprietors of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the lender will not permit this. Why were they approached?

Your conveyancing practitioner listed on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is obliged to inform the bank of any variations to the purchase figure. If you did not allow your property lawyer to disclose the price change to your lender then they would have to discontinue acting for you and the mortgage company.
