Yeah, spoke to someone last night who suggested the freeholder may simply consent. Will check with them before deciding how to proceed.
Will have a look at the lease as well, have a feeling I might be responsible for the building. Remember my solicitor pointing out that was the case for the roof when I bought the place.
@Brun your issue here would be if the Freeholder just consents. I suspect your lease may be like mine and you have responsibility for repairing roof, 1st floor walls, etc.
As such, I'd wait until you're sure that the Freeholder is going down the surveyor route before consenting (and if they do happen to consent then go down the surveyor route yourself).
