My wife and I own a terraced Victorian property in Forest Gate. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Clydesdale. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Clydesdale to clarify?

How does conveyancing in Forest Gate differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Forest Gate come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Forest Gate usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Forest Gate or who has acted in the same development.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Forest Gate where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Forest Gate conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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 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 at the same time as 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.
