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 wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Virgin Money. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

Am I reading too much into it?
  • My (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?

Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least eighty five years balance left. We came across a flat we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our advised us the lease only has 64 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we reduce our offer?

Should I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I have a lease of 69 years remaining on my flat in Eastcote. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided.
