My fiance and I are hoping to purchase a home in Havant and are in fact using a Havant conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with a view to exchanging next week. Aldermore have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Havant solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. What do we do from here?
If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is normal for the purchasers' lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Havant solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial tenants, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end.

A duty to insure the building
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to pull out.
I acquired a 1st floor flat in Havant, conveyancing was carried out in 1995. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Havant with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092
With 66 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £12,400 and £14,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
