I only have Fifty years remaining on my flat in Workington. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent should be helpful to try and locate and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing.

Equivalent properties in Workington with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2095

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
Myself and my wife have just had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to selecting a lawyer that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will incur a further charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a property lawyer to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You should ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to use our search facility and we may be able to locate a property lawyer in Workington on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
