  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Whalley. The lease has only 78 years balance left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 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 two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later?
