As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing instructions set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Wombwell.

I am attracted to a two flats in Wombwell both have about fifty years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties.

I acquired a ground floor flat in Wombwell, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Wombwell with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090

With 65 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
