I am under pressure from the owner of a property in Rainford to exchange within four weeks. What can be done to speed up the buying process?
In the event that you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local contacts and insight. It is possible that they could have conducted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Rainford conveyancing lawyer. Second, be sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is estimated that nearly one in five of Rainford conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the buying process being delayed by an average of 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Almost all Rainford conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Rainford where we have witnessed a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Rainford conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process 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. This means 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 simultaneously with 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.
