Hello, I own the freehold to the house and the leasehold to my flat. There are only two flats as it is a house converted. My lease has about 50 years left to run so I want to extend it and thought as I own the freehold and leasehold it would be straightforward forward but it seems I cannot do that.

Or can I? I have seen on this site a comment that I can extend the lease to myself and another comment that I cannot. I really am unsure how to go about this.

Thank you,

Sherroll
