Devleopment in communal garden

[Greenbeanie]

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?
