It is unclear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Eastleigh bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Eastleigh conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I own a 1 bedroom flat in Eastleigh, conveyancing was carried out in 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Eastleigh with a long lease are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2080

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply 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 may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
