I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in East Twickenham where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local East Twickenham conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

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 proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, 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 purchaser.

Following months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in East Twickenham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
