  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Burghfield Common. The lease has only 72 years balance left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the 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 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 achievable but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? Unfortunately the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • My husband and I are buying a studio flat in Burghfield Common which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do a "priority search" on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must hold on pending registration of the new lease?

Can you recommend a good with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally nearby in Burghfield Common?
