However, the firms we work with supply a national conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Hessle where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Hessle conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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 proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
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 buyer.
I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Hessle, conveyancing was carried out in 2006. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Hessle with over 90 years remaining are worth £192,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2078
You have 54 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
