We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without owning the property. Any information would be much appreciated.

Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?

Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
