  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Smethwick. The lease has just 74 years residual lease term and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 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 achievable but will it be very time costly to the homeowner? Unfortunately the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.

  • My OH and I are acquiring a studio flat in Smethwick which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor commenced dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
