  • I plan on buying a flat in Rainhill. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The flat owner’s conveyancers has given to the freeholder 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 Birmingham Midshires. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Rainhill. The lease has only 62 years outstanding and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Initial Notice and then assign over the right to me as the buyer once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the vendor? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.
