I am now told that as the deposit has been sent from someone other than me my property lawyer needs to make a notification to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I informed the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for him to raise this?

My wife and I may need to rent out our Rawcliffe garden flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Rawcliffe conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Rawcliffe do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Rawcliffe, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Rawcliffe with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2075

With only 50 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
