  • How much will it cost me and what is the best way to get a lease extension started? I have nearly 62 years left on my lease on a maisonette in Hanham.

  • My conveyancing practitioners (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?
  • My son has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in Hanham. House converted into three apartments. He has a lease, which has slightly less than 69 years left.

  • We are buying a one bedroom apartment in Hanham which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our property lawyers to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers 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 wait until the new lease is registered?
  • We currently own a three bed flat in Hanham and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 69 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. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
