  • 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?

  • My wife and I are proceeding with buying a maisonette in Hither Green. I was advised that the lease had been lengthened (sixety years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It transpires as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no money to extend and consequently the flat owner wishes to exchange and use the deposit monies for the lease extension. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?

I put in an offer subject to a lease extension... .. that was back in August, expecting I'd have moved in by now. The seller has just come back saying that they are prepared to knock £4k off if I deal with the lease extension myself. I'm unsure whether that's a good idea
  • I have sixety one years remaining on my lease of a ground floor flat in Hither Green, the Landlord requires a £18k premium for a statutory lease extension of 90yrs. I am looking for advice on whether this amount is too high
