My wife and I are soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Cherry Willingham but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Leeds Building Society will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Your solicitor that is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Leeds Building Society of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to Leeds Building Society then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Leeds Building Society and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Cherry Willingham.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Cherry Willingham where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Cherry Willingham conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that 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 proposed purchaser 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 needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.
