  • I have my suspicions that my niece is being hoodwinked. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Knighton, where the lease is about seventy two years but she was informed by the estate agents that the homeowner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been told the vendor was waiting for her to retain solicitors ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take months to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • 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?
  • We currently own a one bedroom apartment in Knighton 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 75 years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 20k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the landlord first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I have a lease of 57 years remaining on my flat in Knighton. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
