I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know.

However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has seventy seven years left on the lease.

I checked the lease and it has sixety nine years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 15k plus to get a lease extension. Do you have some advice on this? Should I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I'm looking for some advice with regard to a lease extension on my one bedroom apartment in Downend. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move at some point then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
