Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in South Normanton is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of the firm’s work?
That is more than likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the South Normanton conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in South Normanton where we see a few flat sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local South Normanton conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.
I purchased a basement flat in South Normanton, conveyancing formalities finalised June 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in South Normanton with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2088
With 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
