I work for a long established estate agent office in Rhoose where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Rhoose conveyancing firms. Please can you confirm 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 buyer need not have 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 purchaser.
Rhoose Leasehold Conveyancing - Sample of Questions you should consider before buying

The answer will be important as a) areas may result in problems for the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate where services are not paid for b) if the leasehold owners have a dispute with the running of the building you will want to know about it The prefered form of lease structure is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this scenario the leaseholders have being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually employed if it is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. If a Rhoose lease has fewer than eighty years it will impact the salability of the property. It is worth checking with your lender that they are happy with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this would cost. For most Rhooselease extensions you will be be obliged to have been the owner of the premises for two years in order to be legally able to exercise a lease extension.
