I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means 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 needs to be completed before, or at the same time as 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 purchaser.

Much to my surprise my solicitor in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge has informed me that he requires ID documents saying that this is part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the bank Solicitor panel. Am I being spun a yarn?

Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge
