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?
  • My husband and I are are hoping to complete on a garden flat in Foots Cray which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a "priority 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 property title number is not known. Is it right that we have to be patient pending registration of the new lease?
