I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Whitefield where we have experienced a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Whitefield conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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 buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
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.

My husband and I have recently had an offer accepted on our 1st house in Whitefield, and are now looking to get solicitors appointed. We have utilised the various rating tools and the results are from all over the country. Is it advisable to have a Whitefield conveyancer local to our potential house? We are happy to do all the communicating electronically, but I guess at some stage we may be required to visit the lawyer's office to sign papers?
The solicitor does not have to be in Whitefield, but opting for local means that you can go in if needed, by way of example, if a signature is immediately necessary. Furthermore, a Whitefield solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has instructed a local solicitor) with them, which should help keep things moving faster.
