We are planning on selling our property in South Hackney and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land.

How does conveyancing in South Hackney differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in South Hackney approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in South Hackney usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in South Hackney or who has acted in the same development.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in South Hackney where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local South Hackney conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that 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. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser 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 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.

Following years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in South Hackney. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a South Hackney conveyancing firm who can help.
