I can not fathom if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Ebbw Vale bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Ebbw Vale conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

The lawyer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Ebbw Vale I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Ebbw Vale. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Ebbw Vale - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I purchased a 2 bed flat in Ebbw Vale, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

With just 58 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
