I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Capel St Mary where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Capel St Mary conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process 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 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 has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is 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.

Where you buy the flat you will have to pay this contribution, normally quarterly throughout the year. This could be anything from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay annual, ordinarily this is not a significant amount, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire as on occasion it can be surprisingly expensive. Is there a share of the freehold? This question is helpful as a) areas can result in problems in the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where services remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the running of the building you will want to have full disclosure
