My husband and I intend to purchase a purpose built apartment in Matlock with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We would like to retain our Matlock conveyancing lawyer but Platform Home Loans Ltd advised that he's not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or keep our local solicitor and pay for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Matlock. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Matlock - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I purchased a split level flat in Matlock, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Matlock with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2081

With only 55 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
