Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait 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 is achievable but will it be very time costly to the owner? Unfortunately the freeholder can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.

  • Me and my wife are purchasing a three bed flat in Clifton Village which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer 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 OS1 search on the lease. 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 have to hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
