My partner and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Monmouth and my parents have sent the ten percent deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the lender concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?
The property lawyer is obliged to clarify with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Monmouth where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Monmouth conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I acquired a basement flat in Monmouth, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Monmouth with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2094
You have 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
