I work for a busy estate agent office in Aldwych where we have witnessed a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Aldwych conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence 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 commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is 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 buyer.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Aldwych conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Aldwych conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Aldwych residence is 20 Avonwick Road in July 2013. The Tribunal was dealing with an application under Section 26 of the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 for a determination of the freehold value of the property. It was concluded that the price to be paid was Fifteen Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy (£15,970) divided as to £8,200 for Flat 20 and £7,770 for Flat 20A This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 73.26 years.

What are my options where I am unhappy with the lawyer who handled our conveyancing in Aldwych?

We live in an imperfect world, and unfortunately every so often matters do not go as planned. Nevertheless there is recourse if you were dissatisfied with your conveyancing in Aldwych. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a lawyer to their regulator. If you remain unhappy you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
