We were just about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Heaviley and Offerton. We encountered a snag. Our mortgage offer with Clydesdale runs out on 1/9/2025 but the sellers are insisting on a completion date of 3/9/2025. Is it possible to prolong the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to address this issue is your conveyancer who will determine whether they better off negotiating with the mortgage company, seller’s conveyancers, estate agents or possibly all three given what has gone on in your transaction as of today.

About to place an offer on a leasehold flat in Heaviley and Offerton. The estate agents assure me that it is normal for flats in Heaviley and Offerton to have less than 75 years remaining. I am expecting a loan with Bank of Ireland. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 70 years remaining.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Bank of Ireland have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 1/7/2025 the requirements read as follows :

Yes, subject to a minimum lease term of 85 years. The unexpired lease term must be at least the mortgage term plus 45 years. See also 5.14.9

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Heaviley and Offerton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Heaviley and Offerton with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML 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.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Heaviley and Offerton conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Heaviley and Offerton conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Heaviley and Offerton conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:

    How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation?

I inherited a leasehold flat in Heaviley and Offerton, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Heaviley and Offerton with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090

With only 65 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £13,300 and £15,400 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
