Why do you think owning share of freehold is a bad thing? It's a good thing!
You own the property and the land it sits on.
Lease extension is easy and much much cheaper.
Want to alter it internally - all you need is permission from the other freeholder.
You don't pay ground rent.
You don't get ripped off by the freeholder for maintenance fees.
You want a pet - great go get one.

Just viewed a lovely 3-bed flat, bang on our budget. House converted into 2 flats.
But it's a freehold flat apparently. Does anyone have any positive experiences or should I just forget all about it?
Apparently the upstairs flat is very amicable and pay half the buildings insurance and any maintenance...
