  • Hello. I need someone to review my lease extension before it's formalised just to make sure there's nothing that I haven't seen - it's just a surrender and regrant with a few minor changes.
  • I am about to put an offer in on a maisonette in Battle with a lease of 61 years but have no idea how much it will cost me to renew so I can put in an offer given to future cost of a lease extension.
  • I am the owner of a maisonnette and the freehold. The owners of the downstairs flat have asked for a lease extension what do I need to do?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She put in an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Battle, where the lease is nearly sixety nine years but she was told by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the seller was holding off for her to instruct lawyers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it could take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • 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?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately fifteen years. There are 59 years left on the lease. After a year of protracted negotiations through my and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I now have to make a decision as to whether to accept it or go to a Tribunal and would appreciate some independent thoughts.
