You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the mortgage company and ask if they allow a monetary alternative.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ilminster is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Ilminster where we see a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Ilminster conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can commence 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 has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

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.
