You are right in the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Acklam.

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Acklam where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Acklam conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
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 purchaser.
