Questions and Answers: Ponthir Lease Extensions

  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Ponthir. The lease has just 76 years residual lease term and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion 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 consuming to the seller? To add to the complexity the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • My partner and I are considering purchasing a garden flat in Ponthir which is a leasehold.

  • My partner and I had entered into a purchase of a one bedroom apartment in Ponthir. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety four years left prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the owner wants to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?

Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
