  • My lawyers (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.

Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • My partner and I are are hoping to complete on a one bed flat in Newent which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?

If I want a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the conveyancers fees?
