My question is why has this only just been brought to my attention by my conveyancing practitioners?
  • 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?
  • I note that your website states the anticipated fee for dealing with a lease extension is £495. Is that the total cost including vat and the HMLR fee? The price has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my garden flat in Childwall
  • My brother is concerned about getting a lease extension from tricky freeholder. Notwithstanding that the correct procedures were adhered to under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to get ground rent of £300 increasing by 100% every twenty five years of the new term. Can you assist?
  • We currently own a two bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in Childwall and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 77 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I have a lease of sixety seven years remaining on my flat in Childwall. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
