  • 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.

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?
