I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs.

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?

During our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least eighty five years balance left. We found a place we liked and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our told us the lease only has 64 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we walk 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?

Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 without too much effort. My valuer has put forward a much higher amount. Negotiations have broken down so it looks at though we need to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to a FTT, can I deal with this myself, just armed with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
