I am employed by a busy estate agency in Park Royal where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Park Royal conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can commence 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 start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 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 at the same time as 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 buyer.

Following months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Park Royal. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

in cases where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to decide the price.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Park Royal property is 99 Connell Crescent in May 2013. the Tribunal held that the relevant sum for the purposes of the lease extension should be £72,566 to be paid by the leaseholder This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 28.42 years.

We are in the throes of selling our flat in Park Royal. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the landlord. To date we have issued a cheque for £268 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £134.40 for additional queries raised by the purchaser's solicitor.

Neither you or your property lawyer will have any control over the extent of the bill for this information however the typical fee for the information for Park Royal leasehold premises is £355. When it comes to Park Royal conveyancing deals it is customary for the vendor to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions although many will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that requires capped fees for administrative tasks. There is no statutory time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.
