I am acquiring an apartment in Ryhope. My lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to use my Ryhope conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the mortgage company approved list?
One will need to use a solicitor to deal with the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your home. The solicitor will conduct all the appropriate investigations on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. You can instruct a Ryhope solicitor of your choice. However, if the solicitor selected is not on the mortgage company approved list further charges will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should do so.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Ryhope I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ryhope suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Ryhope. I've chance upon a site which looks to be the perfect solution If it is possible to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I am employed by a long established estate agency in Ryhope where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Ryhope conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities 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. This means that the proposed purchaser 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 before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 buyer.
I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Ryhope, conveyancing having been completed in 2006. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?

With 62 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
