  • 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 (separately handling my lease extension) said I need a licence to alter given that I wish to carry out a loft extension to my property. Is this strictly required given that I have a share of the freehold. I've informally discussed the loft conversion with my co-freeholder some time ago and he had no objection once I reassured him that if my builder damages the roof I won't expect the co-freeholder to pay for future repairs to the roof. Assuming I need formal consent should I get the licence to alter and then start the lease extension process?
  • My brother has a share of freehold, with two other leaseholders in a building in East Acton. House converted into three flats. He has a lease, which has around 58 years outstanding. Does he have to do the lease extension at the same time with the other tenants, or could he extend the lease on his own?
  • Coming up to 2 years that I have owned my garden flat in East Acton. I have seventy yrs outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to purchase a share of freehold or a lease extension. I purchased the property for 350K, it is now roughly 450k. I understand that 90 years is the period most people extend. I spoke to my about the process, he answered most of my questions but just have one left: What can I expect in terms of surveyors charges for a lease extension? Are they usually fixed or tend to increase over time (i.e. if the process drags to LVT)?
  • Although I do not need a lease extension but I do need a vesting order on a property I want to acquire in East Acton. The house is freehold but the garden is officially leasehold, 1000 year lease from 1889. Its the garden area.
