  • I am about to view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present circumstances. However after obtaining a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 73 years balance left on the lease.

  • My OH and I are considering purchasing a one bedroom apartment in Harrogate which is a leasehold.

  • My solicitors (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?
