I am selling our home in Rawdon and Yeadon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rawdon and Yeadon. Having lived in Rawdon and Yeadon for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Rawdon and Yeadon where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Rawdon and Yeadon conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is 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 inherited a 1st floor flat in Rawdon and Yeadon, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Rawdon and Yeadon with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2093

With 68 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Some work on a no sale no charge basis, others will levy an bill for a fraction of the set fee, depending on the stage at which the deal does not proceed.
