My conveyancer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Llwyngwril. The seller’s lawyers have offered defective title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?

Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the mortgage company are the client. The appropriate lender specifications must be adhered to.

Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Llwyngwril solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Principality don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality conveyancing panel.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Llwyngwril where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Llwyngwril conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process 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 proposed purchaser need not have 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 before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

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 buyer.
