Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Ripley who completed the legal work 18 months ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or do I try and find a cheaper internet firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you you were to look around you could trim some of the cost by as much as £125. That being said, if you were satisfied with the assistance the firm offered you maylive to rue choosing an an unknown lawyer. Remember to be sure that the solicitor can also act for Bank of Scotland.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Ripley where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Ripley conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities 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. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having 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 buyer.
