  • I am about to view a one bedroom flat, although not exactly my perfect property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 60 years unexpired on the lease.

  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Pimlico. The lease has only 74 years outstanding and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the seller to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? To add to the complexity the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.
  • I am concerned that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Pimlico, where the lease is just under 78 years but she was advised by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been told the seller was waiting for her to appoint solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Sounds unscrupulous, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
