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 have read this is achievable but will it be very time costly to the vendor? Unfortunately it’s the case of an missing landlord, so I am not sure how this will play out.
