I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Henbury where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Henbury conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the seller 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 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 simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is 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 buyer.

I bought a studio flat in Henbury, conveyancing having been completed 5 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Henbury with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2100

With 75 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
