I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in South Hornchurch where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local South Hornchurch conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that 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. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have 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 before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible 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.

Having spent years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in South Hornchurch. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a South Hornchurch conveyancing firm who can help.

Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my property in South Hornchurch. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped into arrears with payments. The managing agents agreed a settlement schedule but there is still around £1750 currently outstanding.

I now wish to dispose of the property and I am concerned this could jeopardize the sale if I have to discharge the arrears first. Do I have to settle before - is this achievable?

The lawyer handing your South Hornchurch sale should be in a position to negotiate with the management company, with a new to seeing if they would accept payment from sale proceeds. This is an example of why it is sensible to use a property lawyer in South Hornchurch as they are likely to have an established relationship with the management company.
