There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Brook Green registration formalities.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Brook Green where we see a few leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Brook Green conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease 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 proposed purchaser need not have to wait 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 simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is 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.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Brook Green conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Brook Green conveyancing firm who can help.
