  • My mortgage provider is requesting several hundred pounds for their conveyancers to approve the lease extension deed for my flat in Thorne... I am unable to find any reference of this in my mortgage literature... is this a usual fee to pay?
  • 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?

They have just informed the agent they'll reduce the price by£8k if they don't have to deal with the lease extension. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea

  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Thorne as it is coming up to the 80 year mark. As I understood it, if you extend your lease by the 90 years available, you pay a premium (£thousands) but the ground rent is reduced to a peppercorn. I am now told that I have to continue paying ground rent. I thought the major cost of a lease extension was to compensate the freeholder as they wouldn't be collecting ground rent anymore?
  • We have a garden flat in Thorne with a lease of 71 years left with a value of around £370000 we want to add 125 years to it, how much is that likely to cost?
