  • My wife and I had entered into buying a studio flat in Basildon. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety years left prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the seller intends to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?
  • My (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?

They have just come back saying that they are prepared to reduce the price by£2k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure if I should take them up on the offer
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my ground floor flat in Basildon. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good who specialises in lease extensions?
