My husband and I are seeking a lease extension for our flat located in Dorchester and we are confused by the letter that we received from our freehold company. How long will it take?

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 note that your website states the anticipated fee to extend a lease is £495. Is that the total cost including vat and the HMLR fee? The premium has already been negotiated with the freeholder for the lease extension for my maisonette in Dorchester

We are hoping to purchase a property (a garden flat based inDorchester with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had a minimum 84 years residual lease term. We found a apartment we fell in love with and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our property lawyers informed us the lease only has 71 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Do we run away, or should we negotiate our offer?
I am the freeholder of a property in Dorchester where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her valuer has provided a figure of £8,000, but has increased this to £10,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to LVT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to face?
