  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in South Croydon. The lease has only seventy seven years balance left and ground rent is £50. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then assign this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait 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 is legal but will it be very time costly to the vendor? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • How much will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have around seventy eight years unexpired lease on my lease on a 2 bed flat in South Croydon.

  • I am concerned that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a ground floor flat in South Croydon, where the lease is around fivety seven years but she was told by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 125 years. Only now has she been informed the seller was holding off for her to retain solicitors prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it may take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in South Croydon as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. 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?
