I’m looking for lease extension for our flat in Longlands and we don't fully understand the letter that we received from our freehold company. What's your legal fee?

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 a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Longlands. The lease has just 55 years outstanding and ground rent is £95. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Notice of Claim and then transfer over the right to me as the purchaser once I complete the buying process so that I can avoid waiting for the two year requisite period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this is legal but will it be very time costly to the flat owner? Unfortunately it’s the case of an absent freeholder, so I am not sure how does it work.

I have my suspicions that my niece might be having the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a garden flat in Longlands, where the lease is slightly more sixety one years but she was told by the selling agents that the flat owner had extended it to 125 years. She has now been informed the homeowner was holding off for her to instruct conveyancers ahead of instigating the lease extension. Seems devious, also it will take a while to sort it all out. Am I reading too much into it?
