We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Reynoldston

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Reynoldston conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Reynoldston where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Reynoldston conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as 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 buyer 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 before, 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.
