I'm buying my first flat in Stapleford with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent informed us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct their chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Stapleford

Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Stapleford conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years left on my flat in Stapleford. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Stapleford.
I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Stapleford, conveyancing having been completed March 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Stapleford with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2100
With just 75 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.

You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
