I work for a long established estate agency in Aston on Trent where we have witnessed a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Aston on Trent conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities 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. 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 before, 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 buyer.

I bought a 1st floor flat in Aston on Trent, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Aston on Trent with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2102

With 78 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
