We're novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Abersychan
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive.

I work for a long established estate agency in Abersychan where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Abersychan conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.
