My Hartford solicitor has spotted a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is obliged to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Hartford where we have witnessed a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Hartford conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that 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 has to be done before, or at the same time as 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 buyer.

Best to be warned if redecorating or some other major work is due in the near future to be shared amongst the leaseholders and may well materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or require a one off payment.
