I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Keswick where we see a few flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Keswick conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
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. 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.
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.
I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Keswick, conveyancing having been completed in 2006. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Keswick with an extended lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2094
You have 70 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
