  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Eastwood. The lease has only 55 years outstanding and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion 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 may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the flat owner? To add to the complexity the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • I'm seeking some advice with regard to a lease extension on my apartment. I'll be looking to do this next summer as we have to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I have seventy two years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Eastwood, the Landlord requires a £18k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is too high
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Eastwood 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?
