  • I plan on buying a flat in Beckermet. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The homeowner’s conveyancers has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice. 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 Barclays . Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Beckermet. The lease has only 65 years outstanding and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the current owner? To add to the complexity the freeholder can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Beckermet for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 13k. Should I keep or sell the flat?
  • Even though I may not need a lease extension but I do require a vesting order on a property I want to purchase in Beckermet. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 995 year lease from 1895. Its the rear garden.
