  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Bishop Auckland. The lease has only seventy years remaining and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Initial Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion 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 owner? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.

Only now has she been told the vendor was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it will take months to sort it all out. What do you think?

My offer was conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in August, hoping I'd have moved in before Christmas. They have just informed me that they are prepared to reduce the price by£7k if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
