  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Soho. The lease has just 76 years balance left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the current owner to serve the Initial Notice and then assign this right to me as the buyer on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait 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? To add to the complexity the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
