I work for a reputable estate agent office in Eastbourne where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Eastbourne conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?

As long as the seller has owned the lease 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 proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

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.

Eastbourne Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Queries before Purchasing

    It would be sensible to discover as much as possible regarding the company managing the building as they can either make living at the property much easier or a lot more difficult. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to every day issues like the tidiness of the communal areas. Enquire of other people whether they are happy with them. In conclusion, investigate as to the dates that the service fees are due to the relevant party and precisely how they are spending that money. For many Eastbourne leaseholds the cost for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Eastbourne require leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. If a Eastbourne lease has fewer than 80 years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are willing to lend given the lease term. A short lease means that you will probably have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and you need to have some idea of what this would cost. For most Eastbournelease extensions you will need to own the premises for two years in order to be legally able to extend the lease.
