I plan on buying a flat based in Hertford. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The vendor’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 The Royal Bank of Scotland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Hertford. The lease has just seventy four years residual lease term and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion 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? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the homeowner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how does it work.

How much will it cost me and what is the best way to start the lease extension process? I have around 77 years unexpired lease on my lease on a one bed flat in Hertford.

Me and my OH are proceeding with buying a one bedroom apartment in Hertford. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (fivety five years left prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The homeowner supposedly has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the vendor wishes to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?

I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my garden flat in Hertford. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point 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 extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
