  • I plan on buying a flat in Greenford. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The current owner’s has given to the freeholder the Notice of Claim. 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 Yorkshire Building Society. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • We are in the throws of buying a flat (a garden flat based inGreenford with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years remaining. We came across a place we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our advised us the lease only has sixety nine years and therefore requires a lease extension. Do we run away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Greenford 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?
