My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Whaley Bridge

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Whaley Bridge conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Whaley Bridge where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Whaley Bridge conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as 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. 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 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 purchaser.
