Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold.

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

  • I'm looking for some help with regard to extending the lease on my apartment. The intention is to do this next June as we have to move then.

Should I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
