• Landlord Served 5A Notice To Name!

    By Guest on 25th Mar 2020

    I and the other leaseholders in my building have been served a section 5A notice offering us the freehold. This fact is great, the premium figure acceptable and the terms are fine. The problem is that my flat's notice has been addressed to the previous owner - his name, and the details of the existing lease. Presumably this is to do with my details not being registered to the property. The land registry has today been requested to expedite the application, using the freehold purchase as the reason for urgency (leaseholders have 2 months from the date of the notice to accept the offer it sets out).

    Considering the ongoing national crisis, will the land registry likely be affected enough that they might not get my application over the line?
    Also - is the fact the notice was served on the wrong person not grounds enough for it to be resubmitted? It seems peculiar to have communicated with landlord, them know my name and then get a notice addressed to someone else...seems like an error somehow.
