  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Golders Green. The lease has just 63 years left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year qualifying 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 vendor? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Golders Green 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 have a lease of 60 years remaining on my flat in Golders Green. 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. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
