  • I am going to purchase a flat based in Chathill. My offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The homeowner’s conveyancers has served the Notice of Claim. 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. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Virgin Money. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • My lawyers (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?

They have just come back saying they are willing to knock £4k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my three bed flat in Chathill. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then.

Can you recommend a good conveyancers who specialises in lease extensions?
