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.

  • We are are hoping to complete on a one bedroom second floor purpose built maisonette in Penylan 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?
  • I'm seeking some advice concerning extending the lease on my flat. I'll be looking to do this sometime next year as we need to move then. Unfortunately the current lease is now very short and therefore I'm guessing it'll be expensive to extend. I'm also thinking that I'll probably have to go down the LVT route. Should I look to extend it now or wait until I sell my place and have it all tied in with the property sale?
  • My and my partner are worried about getting a lease extension from tricky landlord. Regardless of the fact that the correct procedures were followed under the 1993 Act, the freeholder still attempted to get ground rent of £250 increasing by 100% every 25 years of the new term. Can you assist?
