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.

  • Me and my partner are purchasing a garden flat in East Bergholt which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the seller is in the process of extending the lease. The owner has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our property lawyers to do a pre-completion search on the property title. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new lease title number is not known. Is it right that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?
  • I know that others in the same block had already had a lease extension, and the freeholder seemed amenable. It therefore appears worth taking risk of avoiding a formal survey and calculate the initial offer on previous premiums paid . This would save on double valuation charges. Is this advisable?
