It is even conceivable that they may have transacted otherhouses in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Redruth conveyancing solicitor. Second, check that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel.

Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.

An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
