We are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in North Ferriby with a mortgage. We wish to retain our North Ferriby conveyancer, however the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It appears that we have little choice but to instruct one of the mortgage company panel firms or continue with our North Ferriby property lawyer and pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This feels very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your North Ferriby conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I’m about to sell my basement apartment in North Ferriby. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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.

I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in North Ferriby, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in North Ferriby with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089

With 63 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My cousin is purchasing a basement flat in North Ferriby. He has received an estimate by the property lawyer recommended by the estate agents and it came to £1385 . It was 9 years ago I sold and bought a home and the bill was £500. Have fees really increased to that extent?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for instance North Ferriby searches, land registry fees, etc)
