Enfield Wash Lease Extensions Example Support Desk Enquiries

  • 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?

She submitted an offer on a one bedroom apartment in Enfield Wash, where the lease is around 68 years but she was advised by the estate agents that the vendor had extended it to 99 years. Only now has she been informed the owner was holding off for her to retain conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems odd to me, also it could take months to sort it all out. Am I being too sceptical?
