Hi,

Where a leasehold property description is being amended to include the loft space, would this automatically be regarded as a 'new Lease' or can this be reflected by way of a Deed of Variation, please ?  Thank you

Hi Beth - the key is in the original 'demise' so if that didn't include the loft space then you have a 'new lease' scenario
That's achieved through a Deed of Variation in the vast majority of cases as nothing else is changing but as you are varying the extent it acts as a surrender and regrant of the old lease and a new leasehold title is created 
I suspect they are now looking to add the loft space rather than there was a 'slip up' in the original demise so the Deed of V route would be appropriate
