Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak.

  • My conveyancers (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 are in the throws of buying a flat (a maisonette inBonvilston with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had a minimum eighty five years balance left. We found a place we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. Yesterday our solicitors informed us the lease only has 57 years and thus needs a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
  • I'm seeking some advice with regard to extending the lease on my maisonette. The intention is to do this sometime next year as we must move 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 property lawyers with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally based in Bonvilston?
