This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Whissendine. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Whissendine?

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Whissendine and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Whissendine conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Whissendine. We have lived in Whissendine for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number.

I work for a busy estate agency in Whissendine where we have witnessed a number of flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Whissendine conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have 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 disposal of the property.
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.
