I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Cheadle Hulme where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Cheadle Hulme conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as 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 buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, 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 purchaser.

I want to dispose of the property and I am worried this could hold me back if I have to settle the arrears now. I'd like to sell up and subsequently repay the debt from the completion monies - is this achievable?
Do check with the solicitor dealing with your Cheadle Hulme conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the arrears to be transferred to the buyers. The purchase price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then deal with the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
