We have agreed to purchase a house in Poulton Le Fylde. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Poulton Le Fylde.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Poulton Le Fylde bank branch on a couple of occasions and was informed it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancer must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Poulton Le Fylde. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Poulton Le Fylde solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

I'm buying a new build house in Poulton Le Fylde with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it would jeopardize my loan with Birmingham Midshires. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Poulton Le Fylde and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, giving them the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of flats in Poulton Le Fylde which have about 50 years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Poulton Le Fylde is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of buyers and banks, leases with under 75 years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Poulton Le Fylde conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Poulton Le Fylde, conveyancing formalities finalised December 2009. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Poulton Le Fylde with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2100
With 74 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
