  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Windmill Hill. The lease has just seventy 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 two 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 may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the vendor? To add to the complexity the freeholder is absent, so I am not sure how this will play out.

She submitted an offer on a maisonette in Windmill Hill, where the lease is roughly fivety eight years but she was told by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been informed the flat owner was waiting for her to retain lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it could take months to sort it all out.

I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (56 years remaining prior to extension). The sales particulars stated "sold with a long lease".
