I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Slade Green based conveyancing firm?

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Slade Green I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Slade Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

If if people you trust used your friend and they were content that must trump using an unknown Slade Green conveyancing solicitor just because they are Slade Green based.
I work for a long established estate agency in Slade Green where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Slade Green conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease 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 buyer can avoid having 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 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.
