I am buying my first flat in Helmsley benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Helmsley garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Helmsley conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Helmsley conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet without first obtaining consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Helmsley, conveyancing having been completed in 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Helmsley with over 90 years remaining are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2081
With just 55 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
Much to my surprise my conveyancer in Helmsley is asking me for proof of ID documents stating that this forms part of his retainer as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. Is this right?
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 mortgage company. This is not specific to conveyancing in Helmsley
