Me and my fiance are purchasing a ground floor flat in Longthorpe. My Conveyancer has never been on on the lender solicitor list. Am I still permitted to retain my Longthorpe conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the lender panel?

One must have a property lawyer to complete the formalities if you need a loan to purchase your home. They will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in order. You could instruct a Longthorpe property lawyer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancer selected is not on the lender conveyancing panel supplemental charges will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the mortgage company. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Longthorpe from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Longthorpe can be avoided where you appoint lawyers as soon as your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ representatives.
    • You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your conveyancers. A buyer’s lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 75 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Longthorpe leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord consenting to such alterations. If you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without contacting your lawyer in advance. If there is a history of conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where a dispute is ongoing. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over rather than unresolved.

I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Longthorpe, conveyancing having been completed July 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Longthorpe with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2083

With just 57 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
