I plan on buying a flat in Bookham. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The current owner’s lawyers has served the Notice of Claim. 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 Britannia. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Bookham. The lease has only sixety three years unexpired and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting 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 may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.

My OH and I are considering buying a studio flat in Bookham which is a leasehold.

My husband and I had entered into buying a one bedroom apartment in Bookham. I was assured that the lease had been lengthened (sixety five years unexpired lease prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The seller apparently has a quote but no finances to extend and consequently the homeowner intends to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is why has this only just been brought to my attention by my lawyers?
My property lawyers (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
