I am purchasing my first flat in Ripponden with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Ripponden I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Ripponden where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Ripponden conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start 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 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 disposal of the property.
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 buyer.

Please note that where the lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the property for 24 months in order to be entitled to exercise a lease extension. Who are the managing agents? How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments?
We are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom first floor flatin Ripponden with a mortgage from a bank. We would like to retain our solicitor in Ripponden yet our mortgage company advise he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our lender panel firms or stay with our Ripponden conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Ripponden lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The lender home loan issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Ripponden : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
