Owning your own home

Anyone have any horror stories about freeholders (deliberately) fucking up your apartment sale?
Feel free to share. Need to know what I might be getting myself into.

It's possible but why would they do that? Bigger freeholders can be slow and bad at providing the information required to make a sale but typically there isn't much in it for them to screw you around. Small freeholders, i.e. share of in a converted house might try to spite you if they feel you've dicked them around on money matters or in some other way.

Street neighbours are fully capable of cocking up your sale too, you can't really escape it. But if you don't want to run the increased freeholder / leasehold / share of risk do not buy a flat.
