I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Benfleet. The lease has just 67 years unexpired and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the 2 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 achievable but will it be very time consuming to the homeowner? To add to the complexity the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a ground floor flat in Benfleet, where the lease is about seventy six years but she was informed by the selling agents that the vendor had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been advised the owner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

My and my husband know that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the landlord was amenable.
