My fiance and I wish to acquire a newly converted flat in Sandbach with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We use our Sandbach conveyancing solicitor but Leeds Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms.

We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Sandbach took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Sandbach where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Sandbach conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has been the owner 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 buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

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 purchaser.
