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?

  • We are in the throws of buying a home (a garden flat located inCambridge with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at flats that had at least 84 years unexpired. We identified a apartment we liked and the estate agent assured that the lease term was not an issue. Yesterday our property lawyers informed us the lease only has seventy four years and thus requires a lease extension. Do we run away, or do we negotiate our offer?
  • I'm hoping for some assistance concerning a lease extension on my apartment. The intention is to do this next autumn as we must move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the tribunal route. Can you recommend a good property lawyers with expertise in lease extensions. Preferably someone in Cambridge area?
