The New Farnley conveyancing firm handling our New Farnley conveyancing has identified a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he is duty bound to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action correct?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in New Farnley which have approximately 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in New Farnley. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease.

I am the registered owner of a 2 bed flat in New Farnley, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2007. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease?
