  • Last year I purchased a leasehold apartment in Byker and Walker. I have built a big extension and have not informed the freeholder. What should I do?
  • I am a FTB of a leasehold flat in Byker and Walker. The lease has just 58 years unexpired and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the owner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer this right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time consuming to the current owner? To add to the complexity it’s the case of an absent landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
  • 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?
  • My partner and I have been in discussion with our freeholder after having a valuation on our one bedroom apartment in Byker and Walker.

The Freeholder has provided us with a premium amount that he is happy with to accept for the extension of the lease, which we are happy with as well and wish to proceed. All we need now is a to handle this for us. Can you please provide me what your costs would be to act on our behalf.
