KrispyCream , we all can sue. Practicality of this solution is somewhat doubtful.
If you already did the windows, why worry?

How is the freehold title held? Is it a company of which you are both directors or do you hold it in your joint names?

supposing she takes me to court, do I have any options if she did ask me to re instate the windows as the original windows. Wooden sash windows are pretty darn expensive.

If you are then you may need planning/conservation permission.

KrispyCream , yep of course you can. Unfortunately for only 50% of each window.
Theoretically she could go to court as you could simply ignore any communication up to the point.
However, court is expensive and will take time - why don't you just be quiet.

Could the new windows be considered as repair? despite them being a different style Casement instead of sash?
I am a 50% freeholder so I can argue that I gave myself permission.

Reply to Freeholder Premium to consentby Gordon999Your lease is only a long term rental contract. You have no ownership in the building which belongs to the freeholder.
If you want to add a loft extension above the first floor, you should consider purchasing the freehold title first.-

Reply to Ground Rent reviewby AndrewDodI have not read the judgment but no notice is required for a residential ground rent increase that is specified in the lease. The FH does however need to invoice every ground rent request in the prescribed form -- so to at least that extent notice is given of the rate of rent requested at that time...
