I plan on purchasing a maisonette in Keighley. My lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company approved list. Am I still permitted to continue with my Keighley conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Your options include

• Complete the deal with your existing Keighley but your mortgage company will undoubtedly appoint a on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges and potential delay.
• Choose a fresh to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the bank conveyancing panel.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Keighley I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Keighley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Keighley. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Keighley - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I own a studio flat in Keighley, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Keighley with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 50

With 50 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
