I work for a busy estate agency in Twickenham Park where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Twickenham Park conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence 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 kick-start 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 has to be done 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 buyer.
Despite our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in negotiating a lease extension in Twickenham Park. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

My husband and I have recently had a bid accepted on our first home in Twickenham Park, and need to get solicitors lined up. I have made use of the numerous rating tools and the fee estimates are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Twickenham Park conveyancing practitioner local to our potential new home? I am content to do all the communicating over email, but I guess at some stage we will need to physically go into the conveyancing practitioner's office to sign documents?
Generally there is no need to physically visit the office of your conveyancer, they can post any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and return. Many home movers choose to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means a prerequisite for conveyancing in Twickenham Park.
