If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Yeovil.

I purchased a studio flat in Yeovil, conveyancing formalities finalised October 2002. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Yeovil with a long lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2085

With 60 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £20,000 and £23,000 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Me and my partner are expecting to complete on the purchase a house in Yeovil but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have negotiated recompense from the current proprietors of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however my lender will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?

The lawyer that is on the lender approved list is required to inform the bank of any variations to the purchase price. In the event that you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the price change to your lender then they would need to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the bank.
