Questions and Answers: Salford Lease Extensions

  • I purchased a garden flat in Salford. I am looking for a lease extension on the property. It is nearly eighty one years. I would just like to know what your charges are and how long the process takes.
  • I am concerned that my daughter might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a three bed flat in Salford, where the lease is circa 76 years but she was told by the estate agents that the current owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been advised the current owner was waiting for her to appoint lawyers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems underhand, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?

  • My property 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. 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?
