I am employed by a busy estate agency in Westbury On Trym where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Westbury On Trym conveyancing firms. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner 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 kick-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 has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is 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.

I bought a basement flat in Westbury On Trym, conveyancing was carried out January 2004. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Westbury On Trym with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2081

With 55 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
