Recently asked questions relating to Windmill Hill Lease Extensions

  • My partner has an apartment located in Windmill Hill which we have just put on the market. The leasehold has slightly more than 75 years outstanding on it and we are concerned this will come up for anyone who may be interested. I am interested in more information on how we commence arranging a lease extension? Many thanks.
  • We have seen a house for sale for £185,000 and we are very interested but we've just discovered that it is leasehold. There are 798 years outstanding so a lease extension is not a concern. We didn't know what this meant but the internet suggests we wouldn't own the land or property, just the lease to live there. Is this correct? We wouldn't want to pay a mortgage for twenty years without the house being ours. Any information would be much appreciated.
  • 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?
