  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • It says on your website the likely fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the all inclusive cost excluding value added tax and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been agreed with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Branston

  • We are in the throws of buying a home (a 2 bed flat based inBranston with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum ninety years unexpired. We found a place we liked and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Today our conveyancers told us the lease only has 73 years and thus requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or do 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 am planning on remortgaging my studio flat in Branston and the next lender that I am looking to move to requires a minimum 80 years remaining on the lease in order for them to take the mortgage forward. I have found that I currently have around seventy five years on the leasehold so require some advice, guidance, and some quotes to start the lease extension process
