My wife and I are getting closer to an exchange on a house in Isle Of Wight and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?
The property lawyer is duty bound to check with the bank to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Isle Of Wight where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Isle Of Wight conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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 can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.

The best form of lease structure is a share of the freehold. In this situation the leaseholders benefit from control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. If a Isle Of Wight lease has less than eighty years it will impact the salability of the property. Check with your lender that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely need a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering what this would cost. For most Isle Of Wightlease extensions you will need to own the property for two years before you are legally able to extend the lease.
