  • Is yours genuinely some kind of weird freehold flat, or is it share of freehold and each flat is granted a lease?

    I own the freehold of the whole building (detached house split into 2 converted flats), there's a lease on the upstairs flat. We split maintenance and buildings insurance 50/50 as per their lease.

  • I own the freehold of the whole building

    So how did the word 'freehold' get in to their heads?

    "Their solicitor has informed them that they will be responsible for the maintenance of the exterior of the property (which is normal when being the freeholder) and they have told me that they don't have time for those kinds of responsibilities”

  • There's only 1 lease, on the upstairs flat, so by buying my flat they would also be become the freeholders of the building. Maybe I'll just setup a lease on my flat...
