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 am going to purchase a flat in Crawcrook and Ryton. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The owner’s conveyancing practitioners has served the Section 42 Notice. 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 Alliance & Leicester . Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

  • We are acquiring a maisonette in Crawcrook and Ryton which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork which will result in the registration of a new lease at the land registry. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a "priority search" on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our solicitors it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to hold on until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
  • My nephew is aware that others in the same building had already had a lease extension, and the landlord seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal valuation and calculate the initial offer on on the premiums paid by others . This would save on double valuation fees. Is this advisable?
