Me and my fiance are intending to buy a 2 bedroom apartment in Bubwith with a mortgage. We have a Bubwith solicitor, however the lender advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Bubwith conveyancing practitioner as well as pay for one of their panel firms to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Bubwith conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Bubwith where we see a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Bubwith conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?

As long as the seller has owned the lease 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. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

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.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Bubwith, conveyancing was carried out in 2012. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Bubwith with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2080

With only 55 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
