  • My 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'm looking at purchasing an apartment in Enderby valued at £256,000 the flat has approximately seventy three years left on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon a lease extension... .. that was back in June, hoping I'd be in before now. The owner has just informed me they'll knock £3k off if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • We are are hoping to complete on a garden flat in Enderby which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we have to be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Enderby 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?
