About to place a bid on a leasehold property in Kettering. The estate agents say that it is standard for flats in Kettering to have less than 75 years left on the lease. I am expecting a mortgage with The Mortgage Works. Is this going to be a problem if the lease has Seventy One years remaining.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Kettering. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Kettering?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Kettering. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Kettering. I have a mortgage agreed with Santander. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.
At last I have had an offer on a maisonette in Kettering agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Kettering. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Bank of Ireland started?
It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Kettering conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Bank of Ireland approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Kettering.

Equivalent properties in Kettering with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2082
With 56 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should 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 you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My aim is to acquire a garden apartment in Kettering. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance documents.

Is it strictly necessary? We have been stalled for the previous fortnight…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Kettering to discover Conveyancing in Kettering in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the entire building - which is clearly preferable. Do clarify with your property lawyer but it would seem that your conveyancer is looking to establish that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt as a result of lack of insurance.
