  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Chafford Hundred. The lease has just sixety five years remaining and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process 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 may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.

I am wanting to weigh up the pros and cons of that - what occurs when lease ends, the cost of a lease extension, can the freeholder of the property evict me from my own flat and block me from having a lease extension?
  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?

Mortgage broker said I can remortgage as a buy to let instead of consent to let and release 55-60k which on top of a new mortgage based on my income. Not much about in Chafford Hundred for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 21k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • My partner and I are acquiring a garden flat in Chafford Hundred which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers 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 wait pending registration of the new lease?
