Possibly one for @danstuff and other leasehold type people

The buyer's solicitor is asking our solicitor to draw up a section 42 notice that we will serve so that the lease can be extended by the buyer on completion, rather than having to wait a year or so for the privilege to do so.

It strikes me as odd that they would ask (well, insist) our solicitor to do it. Other than trying to duck the cost of it or move that cost on to us.

Is there a good reason for them to have behaved in this way?

Also: fucking flats. Fucking fucking flats.

Yeah I know everyone thinks it's easy except in my situation because the solicitors have fucked it up.

Just don't fuck up the notice or you can get in trouble, it's not a risk free process although the penalty is 'just' having to wait 12 months before having another go.
