We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Hayes
It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is counter productive.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Hayes where we have witnessed a number of flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Hayes conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start 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 kick-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 wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done 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 buyer.
