I am not in a position to travel far from Roundhay. Please explain the reason why all Roundhay property lawyers aren't automatically on all bank panels?
Lenders normally impose restrictions on either the nature or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a organisation needs to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the type of firm, some have made a decision to reduce the size of their panel they permit to act for them. You should note that mortgage companies have no responsibility for the accuracy of advice supplied by any Roundhay lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago notwithstanding that there are opposing opinions concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data published by HMLR indicates that thousands of law organisations only conduct less than three conveyances annually. Those advocating conveyancing panel cuts ask why conveyancing firms should have the right to remain on a lender panel when clearly conveyancing is not their primary expertise?
Are the Roundhay conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Lloyds?
Roundhay conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Lloyds directly.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Roundhay where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Roundhay conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension process 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 commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means 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 needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 buyer.

What is the annual service fee and ground rent? If a Roundhay lease has less than eighty years it will affect the value of the flat. Check with your bank that they are willing to to proceed given the lease term. A short lease means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you will be required to have been the owner of the residence for 24 months before you are entitled to carry out a lease extension.
