Me and my husband are purchasing a maisonette in Beaworthy. My Solicitor is not listed on the lender approved panel. Is it possible for me to use my Beaworthy conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender list of approved lawyers?

You have a number of options open to you here

  • Proceed with your preferred Beaworthy conveyancer but your lender will undoubtedly retain a property lawyer on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges and potential interruption.
  • Appoint a fresh lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the lender conveyancing panel.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I acquired a garden flat in Beaworthy, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Beaworthy with a long lease are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2095

With 70 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
