We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for 25 years without owning the property. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
  • 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 brother and I are proceeding with buying a ground floor flat in Markfield. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (sixety six years outstanding prior to extension). The description on the listing said "sold with a long lease". It transpires at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner apparently has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the current owner wants to exchange and use the deposit monies to extend the lease. My question is as the lease hasn't been extended is there not a danger that it would breach my lenders lease length criteria?
