Do I need to be suspicious by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Maidenbower conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often suggestions from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all suggest conveyancers to use. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that many lenders have an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Maidenbower where we have witnessed a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Maidenbower conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease 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 buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
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.
