Another oddity I talked about here was when you sell, you effectively need the freeholders permission and for them to complete some paperwork. Our freeholders solicitor shut a few months before our sale and trying to first find the new one then get them to complete the necessary paperwork was an utter pain in the cock.
Yep, going through this right now with the old LPE1 form. Our upstairs neighbour is a nice chap but our solicitors sent him the form with no info / context whatsoever which was super unhelpful. So he didn't feel confident filling it in. I've had to explain to him how it all works. It all assumes a very high level of knowledge about our shared freehold situation and a lot of paperwork to hand which he doesn't actually have.
I'm not meant to fill it in because that would be a conflict of interest.
I've read horror stories of neighbours falling out and withholding the LPE1 out of spite to make sales fall through...
If your place isn't simple freehold never fall out with your neighbours.
