There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Harlow registration formalities.

Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Harlow where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Harlow conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process 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 commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have 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 prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible 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.
