You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Aberporth and elsewhere in Aberaeron is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, selling agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Aberporth should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Aberporth where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Aberporth conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as 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. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed 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.
