I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Whitchurch. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

Notwithstanding that your previous Whitchurch conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without first obtaining consent. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I inherited a garden flat in Whitchurch, conveyancing was carried out in 2002. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Whitchurch with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093

With 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

We are midway through buying a property in Whitchurch. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect our lender’s valuation?

Whitchurch conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the marketability significantly.

On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a significant effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be stated in the lease provided to your solicitor.
