Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • My husband and I are buying a ground floor flat in Arnos Grove which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must wait until the new lease is registered?
  • I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Arnos Grove. I reside in the upper flat. I was looking at the land registry documents today when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is 58 years outstanding. If I want to do a lease extension then would I just be paying for the property lawyers fees?
  • I have a lease of seventy four years remaining on my flat in Arnos Grove. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
