I'm looking for an apartment to purchase in West Thurrock and I'm not really familiar with the leasehold tenure. I've identified a maisonette I like with a 91 years lease. My research reveals that I can get a lease extension having owned the property for 2 years, but:- Is this a given?
My conveyancers (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'm seeking some advice concerning extending the lease on my apartment. The intention is to do this next June as we must move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Should I look to complete the lease extension now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
We currently own a studio flat in West Thurrock and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has 78 years left.

Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
I am currently negotiating a lease extension for my flat in West Thurrock 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?
I have a lease of 55 years remaining on my flat in West Thurrock. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
