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 plan on buying a flat located in Cowfold. The offer is conditional upon a lease extension. The seller’s lawyers has served the Notice of Claim. Once this notice has been accepted by the freeholder, it is possible for the lessee to assign the benefit of that notice to me, the buyer, so that the buyer “stands in the shoes” of the Lessee, so to speak. I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Bank of Ireland. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • We are purchasing a one bedroom apartment in Cowfold which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the seller is in the process of dealing with a lease extension. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our solicitors to do OS1 search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it correct that we must hold on pending registration of the new lease?
