  • 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 partner and I are proceeding with buying a one bedroom first floor purpose built flat in St Columb. I was advised by the EA that the lease extension had already been completed while on a viewing (78 years left prior to extension). The description on the listing stated "sold with a long lease". It turns out at the point of exchange of contracts we find that there has been no lease extension. The flat owner supposedly has a quote but no funds to extend as a result the owner wishes to exchange and use the 10% deposit to extend the lease. My question is have the estate agents breached any law by misrepresenting the position concerning the lease term?
