  • 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 do need to clarify things like this before I undertake all the expenses involved in purchasing a property I feel. Do freeholders actually supply their own insurance?

  • I have my suspicions that my daughter might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She put in an offer on a ground floor flat in Barnsbury, where the lease is circa sixety years but she was told by the estate agents that the flat owner had extended it to 99 years. She has now been advised the seller was waiting for her to appoint lawyers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
  • My partner and I are acquiring a maisonette in Barnsbury which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it correct that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • I have sixety six years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Barnsbury, the Landlord requires a £25k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is acceptable
