Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

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 conditions fairly frequently in recent years.

I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Shipley, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1996. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Shipley with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2079
With only 53 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £27,600 and £31,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
