Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting 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 is legal but will it be very time consuming to the owner? To add to the complexity the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.

During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least eighty five years residual lease term.

Her so called valuation expert has suggested a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My valuer has put forward a much higher figure. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to incur?
  • I have a lease of sixety one years remaining on my flat in Batley. 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.
