Cheers - yeah and I imagine more detail is in the paperwork when you get to that stage. I'd hate to have the liability of a share of a blank cheque for something.
No idea about who owns the freehold at the couple I've just pulled up - maybe whoever owns the most valuable part of the building and split it up initially?

The vendor in this listing owns a share of the freehold https://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-94897322.html

And then this one doesn't say anything about the lease at all

I had a flat that was half a terrace house and there was no service charge.

We shared the buildings insurance and paid for repairs as and when (with pretty much all being attributable to one flat or the other).

Same as us, except we each have our own insurance. The number of potential buyers whose head's exploded at the idea was a bit of a shock.

@aggi that sounds ideal. Was it leasehold?
