I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the seller? Unfortunately the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.

She has now been informed the homeowner was waiting for her to retain conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it could take months to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
