My Shaw lawyer has identified a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer informs me that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Shaw I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shaw suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Shaw from the point of view of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Shaw can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check via your conveyancers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Shaw leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord approving such changes. If you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer in the first instance. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you have the original share certificate. Arranging a replacement share certificate can be a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Shaw home move. Where a reissued share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where relevant) for this sooner rather than later.
I bought a studio flat in Shaw, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Shaw with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2088
With 62 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
