I work for a reputable estate agency in Cambourne where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Cambourne conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can start 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 kick-start 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.

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.

This morning I was informed that the vendor needs to forward the insurance documents for the flat above as well. Why would my lawyer want to see the insurance for the flat above? Is it strictly necessary? We have been stalled for the previous 2 weeks…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Cambourne to find Conveyancing in Cambourne in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the complete property - which is clearly better. Do contact your solicitor but it would seem that your property lawyer is attempting to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt as a result of lack of insurance.
