Frequently asked questions relating to Smethwick Lease Extensions
I am looking for lease extension for our garden flat based in Smethwick and we are confused by the communication that we received from our freehold company. Are you able to assist us with this situation?
We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very keen on but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 928 years outstanding so a lease extension is not an issue. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I will soon view a two bedroom apartment, although not exactly my ideal property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 70 years outstanding on the lease.

My conveyancing practitioners (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?

Can you recommend a good conveyancing practitioners who specialises in lease extensions?
