  • 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 acquiring a one bed flat in Shenley Church End which has share of freehold and a leasehold. The lease was on the short side so the vendor is in the process of extending the lease. The vendor has submitted the lease extension paperwork to HMLR. A crucial aspect of the conveyancing process is for our to do a "priority search" on the lease. The concern here is that as a lease extension has been submitted we've been told by our 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 have to be patient until the new lease is registered?
