I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Swaffham. The lease has just seventy two years left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the vendor to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign over the 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 consuming to the homeowner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.

My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
