Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Long Ashton. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Long Ashton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

I am buying my first flat in Long Ashton with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The sellers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Barclays Direct. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Long Ashton where we see a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Long Ashton conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as 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 for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
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 leasehold flat in Long Ashton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Long Ashton with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2090
With 64 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as costs.
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 comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
