My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Priorslee. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Chelsea Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

The first thing you should do is call your lawyer and ask them if they can act for the lender. Otherwise you can call Chelsea Building Society who may be able to confirm.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Priorslee. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this provision principally exists to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.

My husband and I have arranged the release of further monies on our home loan from Santander as we want to carry out renovations to our house in Priorslee. Do we need to choose a local Priorslee solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Santander would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Santander conveyancing panel.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Priorslee conveyancing lawyers are chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Barclays?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays conducted the valuation? Have you informed Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Priorslee where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Priorslee conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

Provided that 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 buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. 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 disposal of the property.

Alternatively, it may be possible 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 purchaser.

I own a leasehold flat in Priorslee, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Priorslee with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2078

With just 54 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
