Is it the case that all Cheddleton solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. The majority of lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the organisation would be regulated by the CLC.

Planning on purchasing a apartment in Cheddleton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Cheddleton lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I work for a long established estate agency in Cheddleton where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Cheddleton conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

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. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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 purchaser.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Cheddleton, conveyancing was carried out September 2011. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Cheddleton with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2085

You have 61 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £18,100 and £20,800 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 supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
