I work for a busy estate agency in Ashton Under Lyne where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Ashton Under Lyne conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed 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.

Me and my wife have just had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Tuesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will incur a further fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to appoint a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we select on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their invoice. I have requested Nationwide to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved solicitors but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Then ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide before. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Another option is to utilise our search facility and we may be able to find you a conveyancer in Ashton Under Lyne on the approved list for Nationwide.
