My offer was accepted on an apartment in Felling and Pelaw on 29/7/2024, valuation was booked five days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Skipton and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Are Skipton entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Felling and Pelaw I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Felling and Pelaw in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Felling and Pelaw conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Felling and Pelaw garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Felling and Pelaw conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last Felling and Pelaw conveyancing solicitor is no longer available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Felling and Pelaw, conveyancing formalities finalised December 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Felling and Pelaw with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2100
With 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously 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.
