We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers located in Wylam on the Santander solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Santander mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Santander?

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Wylam where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Wylam conveyancing firms. 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?
Provided that 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 buyer can avoid having 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 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 purchaser.
