Questions and Answers: Llanfechain Lease Extensions

  • I am going to purchase a flat based in Llanfechain. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The flat owner’s conveyancers 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.
