  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Havant. The lease has just fivety nine years residual lease term and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting 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 is legal but will it be very time costly to the seller? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • My brother and I are proceeding with a purchase of a one bedroom apartment in Havant. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (fivety five years unexpired lease prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The current owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the current owner wishes to exchange and use the my deposit for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that Bank of Scotland won't lend on a lease?
