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 Diss. The offer is subject to the lease extension. The homeowner’s conveyancing practitioners has given to the freeholder the Section 42 Notice.

I was wondering if this could be a problem for the mortgage lender Lloyds TSB Bank. Moreover, which are the following lease extension steps to complete the purchase?

Her valuer has given a figure of £9,000, but has upped this to £10,000 without too much effort. My valuer has come back with £12,520.
