About to purchase maisonette in Great Coates. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Great Coates conveyancer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Great Coates where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Great Coates conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. 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 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 invested in buying a basement flat in Great Coates, conveyancing formalities finalised July 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Great Coates with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2094
With just 68 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Great Coates.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the service charge as normal because all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
