My wife and I are in the process of looking at flats in Cleator and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this point? I am planning to take a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

How does conveyancing in Cleator differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Cleator come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because builders in Cleator usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Cleator or who has acted in the same development.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Cleator where we see a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Cleator conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence 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 sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with 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 am the registered owner of a basement flat in Cleator, conveyancing having been completed January 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Cleator with a long lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2075
With just 50 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as costs.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do 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 clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
