  • I have my suspicions that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Cuckfield, where the lease is around 62 years but she was told by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been advised the seller was holding off for her to instruct solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it may take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • My property 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?

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Cuckfield as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
