  • I am going to purchase a flat located in Tunbridge Wells. My offer is subject to the lease extension. The vendor’s property lawyers has served the Section 42 Notice. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Halifax. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • My fiance and I had entered into a purchase of a garden flat in Tunbridge Wells. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety three years remaining prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The homeowner supposedly has a quote but no money to extend as a result the homeowner wants to exchange and use the my deposit to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • My conveyancers (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?

Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
