I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Becontree. I happened to chance upon a site which looks to be the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all this stuff done via phone that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Becontree where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Becontree conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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.
Despite our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Becontree. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Becontree conveyancing firm who can help.
