  • 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.

  • My OH and I are in the throws of buying a flat (a maisonette inRothbury with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had at least 83 years outstanding. We identified a apartment we fell in love with and the selling agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our told us the lease only has sixety eight years and thus requires a lease extension. Should we walk away, or should 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?
