I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Bookham where we see a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Bookham conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
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 sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 buyer.
I am the registered owner of a 1 bedroom flat in Bookham, conveyancing having been completed November 2009. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Bookham with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2106
With just 80 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
