Frequently asked questions relating to Hither Green Lease Extensions

  • I plan on buying a flat in Hither Green. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The seller’s property lawyers has served the Section 42 Notice. 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 Halifax. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
