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?

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
