  • 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 in need of a lease extension for my flat in East Oxford and was advised previously that I must get the funds readily available, is this the case or can I start the process beforehand?
  • 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?

  • Coming up to 2 years that I have been in my garden flat in East Oxford. I have 62 years outstanding on the lease. I am now wanting to buy a share of freehold or extend my lease. I acquired the property for 350K, it is now roughly 445k. 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: In terms of surveyors - how do I go about finding one?
  • Hello I am the freeholder reversion in a one bedroom flat in East Oxford. The leaseholder has a seventy eight year lease and would like to purchase further 90 years. He is offering me £27,000 but I am unsure if this is in the right ballpark
  • I have a lease of seventy seven years remaining on my flat in East Oxford. We are looking for a lease extension, so we contacted our freehold company and they came back with a quote that was double the amount and half the extension time that the lease extension calculator provided. Is there anyway, without racking up a huge legal bill, we can ask the freehold company to provide their computation of the amount and how they derived to it?
