  • 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?

  • Just been over two years that I have owned my garden flat in West Cross. I have fivety eight yrs remaining on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my property lawyers about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • My fiance and I are are hoping to complete on a maisonette in West Cross which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to hold on until the new lease is registered?
  • I have sixety four years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in West Cross, the Landlord requires a £18k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is reasonable
