Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 3/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :
The deeds to my property are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Rusholme 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Rusholme
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Rusholme conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Rusholme. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Your lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Rusholme do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the tenancy agreement.
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Rusholme, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Rusholme with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2087
You have 62 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
I'm buying a flat in Rusholme. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't see my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not every individual in the practice must be listed by the regulator. As long there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unqualified staff.
