  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Kibworth. The lease has only 59 years remaining and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later?

The sales particulars said "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 owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend and consequently the flat owner intends to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my failed to spot this far earlier than just before exchange?
  • My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property.

Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
