Is it possible for the owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 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 legal but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
