It is unwise to provide notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your solicitor and ask them to they apply pressure on the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work towards

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Yoxall what are the most frequent lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Yoxall. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall Insurance obligations
You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. National Westminster Bank, The Mortgage Works, and TSB all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
I purchased a studio flat in Yoxall, conveyancing having been completed June 1997. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar properties in Yoxall with over 90 years remaining are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2076
With only 50 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
