  • 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 the freeholder of a property in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge where the leaseholder has requested a lease extension. Her so called valuation expert has provided a figure of £9,000, but has increased this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has put forward a much higher figure. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what charges would I be likely to incur?

  • We currently own a garden flat in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge and are looking to sell it this year so we can carry out some improvements on our family home. I checked the lease and it has seventy one years left. Not sure what to do, have read some bits on the web saying it will be 13k plus to get a lease extension. Can you offer some advice on this? Do I contact the freeholder first and will they be able to give me a cost?
  • I have a lease of seventy nine years remaining on my flat in Fir Vale and Wadsley Bridge. 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?
