Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour.
Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned.

Leasehold property help!!!!
We would like to build an extension out into our garden due to a new arrival, and approached the freeholder. We showed him what we were looking to do and he said that it looked fine, so we appointed an architecht. Now that the plans have been drawn up he has turned around and said that he longer wants anything built- he said that it does not benefit him in any way and so isnt bothered. I pointed out that we have now incurred costs due to his previous discussions, but he said it was not his issue.
Does anyone know where we stand, or if there is anything that we can do? We need the freeholders permission, but we are now really stuck and 3k worse off.

Did you get his agreement in writing?
Was any payment agreed?
If not, you're dr***d.0 -
You should have everything in writing... apart from the problem you now have, without it being in writing it could have seriously affected the future saleability of your home as buyers/their solicitors/their lenders will have wanted to have seen all the relevant paperwork.0
