An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we appoint their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Lapworth conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
My fiance and I may need to let out our Lapworth garden flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Lapworth conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A lease dictates relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Lapworth do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
