I can't travel far from Malton. Please explain the reason why all Malton conveyancing practitioners are not on all mortgage company panels?

Before the recession most lenders demonstrated an attitude to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancers on your panel. Consequently, banks have since requiredmore information from law firms regarding their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Many law practices have found themselves excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible meet the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of maisonettes in Malton which have approximately 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?

There are plenty of short leases in Malton. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

I inherited a studio flat in Malton, conveyancing was carried out in 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Malton with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2086

With 60 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to 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.
