  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Guildford. The lease has just 63 years left and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later?

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?

They have just informed me that they are prepared to reduce the price by£7k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
  • We know that others in the same building previously had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of not having formal survey and base the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
