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.

My fiance and I are buying a garden flat in Kettering which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced extending the lease. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the house buying process is for our to do OS1 search on the property title. The problem 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 correct that we must be patient until the new lease is registered?

I require an estimate to extend my aunt’s lease on a maisonette in Kettering. She already has a price from the landlord for a lease extension but I am unclear whether it is reasonable.

I have a lease of 74 years remaining on my flat in Kettering. 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?
