She has now been advised the homeowner was holding off for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it will take time to sort it all out.

  • 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?

Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
