I've bought a flat to renovate and the lease states that approval must be sought for certain items such as lifting floorboards to replace/lay new cable.
I've written to the freeholder 2 weeks ago and not heard back. The others in the building tell me he's very awkward and it's taken them an age to get responses from him in the past. I phoned him today and he tells me he's dealing with it but is very busy.
It states in the lease that approval must not be unreasonably delayed or withheld and I need it in order to carry on with the renovations.
Are there any property experts who can advise me of the best way forward? I'm reluctant to risk aggravating him, but need to get this renovation moving.
Thanks
