  • 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?

  • I am a first time buyer of a leasehold flat in Undy. The lease has just sixety one years balance left and ground rent is £25. Is it possible for the homeowner to serve the Notice of Claim and then assign this right to me as the purchaser on the day of completion so that I don't have to wait for the 2 year qualifying period before I can apply to for a lease extension or have to deal with all this expense later? I have read this may be possible but will it be very time costly to the owner? Unfortunately the landlord is absent, so I am not sure how does it work.
