Top Ten Questions relating to Ince in Makerfield Lease Extensions

  • I am going to purchase a flat in Ince in Makerfield. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The flat owner’s conveyancing practitioners 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.

However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 63 years residual lease term on the lease.
