I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Bookham where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Bookham conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Bookham, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2009. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Bookham with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2106
With just 80 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £7,600 and £8,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
