Last year we were quoted a deal to grant a lease extension for another 25 years but also uplift the ground rent from nominal to £250 per year..plus a premium I think of approximately 14k.

  • My conveyancers (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 are are hoping to complete on a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Old Woking which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we must hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
