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

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Norton Woodseats as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
