The lawyer who helped my last purchase has given a fee estimate £1400 for freehold conveyancing in Camborne. I’m hoping to downsize from a Georgian house for £300,000. Are these estimated fees excessive? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Camborne?

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Camborne where we see a few flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Camborne conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start 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 start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 split level flat in Camborne, conveyancing was carried out in 2000. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Camborne with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089
With just 65 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
My partner and I have recently had an offer accepted on a property and had meeting on Monday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved list of solicitors then we will have to pay out an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked Leeds Building Society to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please use our search facility and we should be able to identify a property lawyer in Camborne on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
