Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Tonypandy where we have experienced a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Tonypandy conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities 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. This means 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 needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Tonypandy, conveyancing having been completed August 2012. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Tonypandy with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2087
You have 63 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £16,200 and £18,600 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
My wife and I have appointed a Tonypandy conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (first time buyers) and have noticed in the terms and conditions that they are not regulated by the FCA. Should I be concerned or is that standard with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. They will be governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who have stringent obligations regulating amounts held on client account.
