  • My solicitors (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?

  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Wedmore and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has given a figure of £9,000, but has increased this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has suggested a much higher figure.

If not, what fee would I be likely to incur?
