  • My (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?

  • Just been over 2 years that I have owned my ground floor flat in Ely. I have 76 years left on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or extend my lease. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend.

  • I'm hoping for some help concerning extending the lease on my apartment. I'll be looking to do this next summer as we have to move 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. Do I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Ely 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?
