It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension.

The property lawyer must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I am purchasing a new build house in Betws Y Coed with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be very helpful. But there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend lawyers to appoint. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to select your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that the majority of mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the lender related work in your house move.
I work for a busy estate agent office in Betws Y Coed where we have witnessed a few flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Betws Y Coed conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

With 70 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence.

Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
