Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Section 42 Notice 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? I have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the owner? To add to the complexity the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.
