  • 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?

  • We are are hoping to complete on a maisonette in Pontcanna which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the owner commenced dealing with a lease extension. The seller’s lawyer has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the house buying process is for our conveyancing practitioners to do OS1 search on the property title. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our conveyancing practitioners it may not be possible to do this "priority search" right now as the new property title number has not been issued. Is it right that we have to hold on pending registration of the new lease?
  • I own the freehold of a couple of flats. Someone has the lease on the lower flat in Pontcanna. I occupy in the top flat. I was reviewing the title deeds last night when I noticed that my flat is leasehold. There is fivety seven years outstanding. If I want to do a lease extension then would I simply be paying for the conveyancing practitioners costs?
  • I own the freehold reversion of a property in Pontcanna and a leaseholder would like a lease extension. Her valuer has suggested a figure of £8,000, but has upped this by £2,000 at the drop of a hat. My surveyor has come back with £12,520. She does not appear to wish to negotiate wanting to go to a FTT. If a lease extension does go to tribunal, can I deal with this myself, just equipped with the valuations I have? If not, what costs would I be likely to face?
