You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Maghull 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Maghull 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 permits subletting. How do we find out?

The lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Maghull do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Maghull, conveyancing was carried out August 2009. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Maghull with over 90 years remaining are worth £175,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £23,800 and £27,400 plus 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 in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
