  • 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?

Throughout our search, we were always looking at properties that had at least eighty five years left on the lease. We came across a apartment we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our solicitors advised us the lease only has sixety five years and thus needs a lease extension. Should we run away, or do 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?
