Cilcain Lease Extensions

Common questions relating to Cilcain Lease Extensions

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?

My husband and I are hoping to purchase a flat (a three bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette based inCilcain with share of freehold). Throughout our search, we were always looking at apartments that had a minimum 84 years remaining. We identified a apartment we liked and the estate agent promised us that the lease was long albeit not specifying a number. This morning our told us the lease only has sixety nine years and therefore requires a lease extension. Should we run away, or do we negotiate our offer?

If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I handle the matter myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what fee would I be likely to face?
