  • 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?
  • My brother and I have owned a leasehold flat for approximately fifteen years. There are sixety four years outstanding on the lease. After a year of difficult negotiations through my property lawyers and, mainly, surveyor I now have an offer from the freeholder. I am at a decision point on whether to accept it or go to LVT and would appreciate some independent thoughts.

  • I'm intent on acquiring an apartment in Walsall valued at £256,000 the flat has approaching sixety one years remaining on the lease. I put in an offer conditional upon the lease being renewed... .. that was back in August, hoping I'd have completed before now. The seller has just informed me they are willing to knock £3k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
  • I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in Walsall 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?
