She has now been informed the current owner was holding off for her to instruct solicitors before commencing with the lease extension. Sounds odd to me, also it may take time to sort it all out.

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?
