  • 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?

  • Coming up to two years that I have been in my ground floor flat in Calcot and Tilehurst. I have 75 yrs unexpired lease on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 342K, it is now roughly 445k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my solicitors about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: I realize this will cost me 10k+, it is not easy to drop the cash (even if I may have savings) to cover it. What do most people do in terms of financing - do they add it to their existing mortgage or pay it out in cash?
  • If a leaseholder owns a flat with a lease of under 80 years, they can afford the lease extension by borrowing the funds against the property, and the value of the flat with the new lease will more than cover the cost of the extension, then is there any justification for not extending the lease?
  • My and my fiance know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed amenable. Therefore is seems worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and base the initial offer on on the prices by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
