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 advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (74 years unexpired lease prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease".

The current owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the current owner wants to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?

My question is: If landlord does not agree to a marriage value (part of lease extension fees) of a valuer, how lengthy and easy is the process of going down the route of Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
