Me and my partner are due to exchange buying a property in Mablethorpe but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller in the sum of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price.

The conveyancer that is on the Yorkshire BS approved list is duty bound to inform Yorkshire BS of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Mablethorpe.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Mablethorpe where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Mablethorpe conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as 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. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.
