  • My (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 husband and I are hoping to purchase a home (a garden flat based inKew with share of freehold). During our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least ninety years residual lease term. We identified a apartment we fell in love with and the selling agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our told us the lease only has 61 years and therefore requires a lease extension. Do we walk away, or should we lower our offer by the estimated difference in value resulting from the short lease term setting aside that money to cover the lease extension?
