I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Hammersmith where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Hammersmith conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as 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 purchaser.
Following years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Hammersmith. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Hammersmith conveyancing firm who can help.
