  • This flat I have in mind requires only ground rent. Long lease so no lease extension required. I have asked the estate agents as to what happens to building insurance and responsibility for communal areas and if one of the two flats which make up the property wants to make alterations.They said they did not know. I cannot see how one could get buildings insurance for the whole building shared with another flat, either downstairs or upstairs.

  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Aldeburgh. The lease has just fivety five years balance left and ground rent is £75. Is it possible for the flat owner to serve the Section 42 Notice and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time consuming to the flat owner? Unfortunately the landlord can not be found, so I am not sure how does it work.

They have just come back saying they'll reduce the price by£8k if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm not sure whether that's a good idea
  • We are buying a one bedroom ground floor purpose built maisonette in Aldeburgh which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller commenced dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the house buying process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our property lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
