Blocked from doing a loft conversion by the co-freeholder

by LondonResident

I’m a first time poster on the site and couldn’t see anything that relates specifically to this topic, although various forums around the subject.

I would like to do a loft conversion on our flat and the co-freehold owner has refused consent so we want to see if there is anything we...

Reply to Blocked from doing a loft conversion by the co-freeholder

LondonResident has not logged on exactly a year ago tomorrow, so don't expect a reply.

Any new questions on lofts should start a new thread, as not all leases and circumstances are the same.

Reply to Blocked from doing a loft conversion by the co-freeholder

by kennyj52

Did your co-freeholder give you any grounds for refusing consent? I am also a co-freeholder and have refused consent for a loft conversion which was requested by my other co-freeholders. My main ground for refusing is that I don't trust one of the co-freeholders - is that unreasonable?

Reply to Splitting detached house into 2 residencies

by keentobuild

Thanks,

I know its a lousy plan, I was just hoping I could have some knowledge behind me in helping inform him that it is exactly that.

Thanks for the info on planning time frames, this should steady him down.

Hi all,

My father-in-law is currently considering splitting his house into 2 flats, either to rent one to help with income during retirement or sell to release capital from his property.

by Charles Smith 007

I have a planning permission to build some houses. The lower section of the road that they are on has no registered owners and our checks against the title deeds for the properties it goes past, the council land ownership and historic manorial ownerships have confirmed no record of ownership.

Reply to Laying services over unowned road

by pilman

The rebuttable legal presumption " ad medium filum viae" is that an owner with land adjoining a road owns up to the mid point of the road unless it is a public highway maintainable at the public expense when the Highway Authority will own the surface and a short distance below the surface....

by Brizz

Hi. First time poster looking for some advice.

I am faced with a situation where a well-known developer has built a row of houses, one of which I have bought. The garden has been finished other than in accordance with the approved plans - essentially, rather than a gradual slope along the...

Reply to Enforcement action - against the Leaseholder or the Freeholder?

by AndrewDod

Doubt it. Why would they bother. The don't usually bother about planning violations which are much more fundamental - so they will not give two hoots about this.
