Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time costly to the owner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.

I acquired the property for 320K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my conveyancers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: Is there a benefit in getting a Adamsdown based conveyancers or any will do fine?

If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
