I am a joint freeholder of a block of flats in which I own the ground flat. We are in negotiations to be able to knock through to the communal garden and create a kitchen extension/have access to a private section of the garden.


If I get this agreement from the other freeholders presumably the next step would be to get the deeds changed to reflect what we have agreed. Can anyone advise on the process? or next steps?


I will be spending some time researching this but any local advice I can get would be gratefully received!


Feel free to PM me if you need more info.

Have you got a price to purchase the area for your extension from your co Freeholders, would they be willing to loose the amenity of loosing the use of the communal area.

You stated that you own the ground floor flat, there can only be a few flats in all, but you will have to pay for all the altered Deeds, as you are the one wanting the change.

I think that you must multiply the cost by the number of Freeholders by at lease ?2.000 and the alteration of the Deeds will be yours for them and yourself, plus the Solicitors fee.

This will be in addition to your Architect, Planning Fees, Materials, and Builders, and re - Rating.

This could be a non srarter, have you asked the Planning Dept if this is possible?

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
