In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Mountsorrel? Is this really necessary?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identification documents of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt stipulate this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. If you refuse to supply ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Mountsorrel where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Mountsorrel conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is 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 own a 1st floor flat in Mountsorrel, conveyancing formalities finalised May 2005. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Mountsorrel with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2101
With only 75 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
