  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Birchgrove. The lease has just fivety nine years balance left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the buyer 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?

  • Me and my fiance are proceeding with a purchase of a one bedroom apartment in Birchgrove. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (75 years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner supposedly has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the owner wants to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?

  • Me and my husband are are hoping to complete on a studio flat in Birchgrove which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it correct that we have to be patient until the new lease is registered?
