I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Bilborough where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Bilborough conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence 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 needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

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 buyer.

    Its a good idea to find out as much as possible regarding the company managing the building as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the owner of a leasehold property you will be in the clutches of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to practical matters such as the upkeep of the communal areas. Enquire of other people what they think of them. Finally, investigate as to the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the managing agents and precisely what you get for your money. Best to be warned whether changing the roof or some other significant cost is due shortly that will be shared between the tenants and could well materially increase the the service costs or result in a specific invoice. Who are the managing agents?
