  • 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 about to view a two bedroom flat, although not exactly my dream property it has enough positives to suit me very well for my present situation. However after downloading a copy of the title I've learnt that it only has 61 years outstanding on the lease. It is also a repo so I'm guessing that the vendor will not be interested in doing a lease extension. My primary concern is would it be difficult to sell on without a lease extension?
  • I have my suspicions that my niece might have had the wool pulled over her eyes. She submitted an offer on a three bedroom first floor purpose built flat in Workington, where the lease is nearly 64 years but she was told by the estate agents that the seller had extended it to 99 years. She has now been told the current owner was waiting for her to appoint conveyancers before commencing with the lease extension. Seems unscrupulous, also it could take a while to sort it all out. What do you think?
  • My partner and I had entered into a purchase of a garden flat in Workington. I was informed that the lease had been lengthened (78 years left prior to extension). The sales particulars said "sold with a long lease". It turns out as we are about to exchange of contracts we find that the lease has not been extended. The vendor supposedly has a quote but no money to extend as a result the vendor wants to exchange and use the 10% deposit for the lease extension. My question is is it not odd that my conveyancers failed to spot this far earlier than just before exchange?
  • We have owned a leasehold flat for approximately twenty years. There are fivety five years remaining on the lease.
