I work for a busy estate agent office in Ossett where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Ossett conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease 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 before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
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.

-
The majority of Ossett leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building set by the freeholder. Should you purchase the property you will have to pay this contribution, normally in instalments during the year. This can vary from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. There will also be a ground rent to be met yearly, this is usually not a exorbitant amount, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to check as on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. On the whole the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Ossett ask leasehold owners to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance. Are there any major works anticipated that will increase the maintenance costs?
