FAQs concerning Salford Lease Extensions

  • I am going to purchase a flat in Salford. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The homeowner’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 Clydesdale. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?
  • I have my suspicions that my daughter is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Salford, where the lease is around sixety two years but she was told by the estate agents that the owner had extended it to 99 years.

What do you think?

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?
