I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Olney where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Olney conveyancing firms. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities 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 commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done 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 inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Olney, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable flats in Olney with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089
With 63 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £16,200 and £18,600 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations.
