  • 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?

They have just come back saying they are willing to knock £3k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure if I should take them up on the offer
  • Me and my OH are hoping to purchase a property (a one bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette inSherwood with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum 83 years remaining. We identified a apartment we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease term was not an issue. This morning our conveyancing practitioners informed us the lease only has 73 years and therefore needs a lease extension. Should we run 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?
