  • 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?

Not much about in Macclesfield for me to get my own place. If I sell I will only get 150-160 due to tenant (8 months left on AST) and lease. A lease extension will cost 21k. Not sure sure whether to hold on or sell the flat?
  • Hi I own the freehold interest in a 3 bedroom flat in Macclesfield. The leaseholder has a fivety six year lease and would like to purchase another 125 years. He is offering me £18,000 but I am not sure if this is in the right ballpark
  • We are are hoping to complete on a one bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Macclesfield which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was starting to get low so the vendor commenced extending the lease. The seller has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. An essential part of the conveyancing process is for our solicitors to do a pre-completion search on the lease. The problem here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our lawyers it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number is not known. Is it right that we must wait until the new lease is registered?

Can you recommend a good conveyancing practitioners with expertise in lease extensions. Ideally nearby in Macclesfield?
