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?

  • Me and my fiance are proceeding with a purchase of a maisonette in Knotty Ash. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (58 years outstanding prior to extension). The sales particulars 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 seller apparently has a quote but no finances to extend as a result the owner intends to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is how is possible that the estate agent got it so wrong?

Should I keep or sell the flat?
