Belinda Thorpe of Residentsline advises on how to prepare for buying your freehold with the following steps that need to be followed.
If any major works are required for a block of flats, the cost will normally be recoverable from the tenants.
Many people decide to let leasehold flats. In many cases as buy to let investments but also letting occurs by so called incidental landlords, i.e. those who have met a potential life partner with whom they have moved in or those who have temporally relocated because of work.
All Residents’ Management Companies need to ensure that the requirements set out in their Lease are covered by their blocks insurance policy.
Your Policy schedule will often show two values one referred to as the Declared Value and the other as the Sum Insured.
The quality of your insurance cover is paramount, but the next most important matter is the accuracy of the buildings sum insured.
Service charges are payable by the leaseholder to the landlord for the services provided, as determined by the lease.
