  • 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?

  • I am concerned that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in East Bergholt, where the lease is nearon 64 years but she was advised by the selling agents that the vendor had extended it to 125 years. She has now been told the vendor was holding off for her to appoint conveyancers prior to commencing with the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it will take time to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?

  • We are are hoping to complete on a two bedroom first floor purpose built maisonette in East Bergholt which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner is in the process of extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do OS1 search on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we must wait until the lease extension has actually been registered before completing.?
