My flat in Pelsall is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my conveyancer need to be required to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
I am buying my first flat in Pelsall with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I work for a long established estate agency in Pelsall where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Pelsall conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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 buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
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.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations.

We own a leasehold flat in Pelsall. Conveyancing was finished in last year. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the lease length fall too low. Why is that a problem?
Pelsall residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - often just under one hundred years when they are first granted. However a significant flats in Pelsall were built or converted 25 or more years ago and so these leases now have under 80 years unexpired. That may seem like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to require leases to have a minimum of 75 years remaining to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching eighty years. To enhance your property value you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease is below 80 years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
