  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Colindale. The lease has just seventy nine years outstanding and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion 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 may be possible but will it be very time costly to the vendor? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • I am concerned that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a garden flat in Colindale, where the lease is slightly more 78 years but she was informed by the estate agents that the seller had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the homeowner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds underhand, also it could take a while to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

  • We currently own a maisonette in Colindale and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy nine years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Colindale as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my three bedroom second floor purpose built flat in Colindale.

I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good property lawyers who specialises in lease extensions?
