Advice on party wall matters
All semi-detached and terraced houses have party walls. A party wall separates yours and your neighbour’s property. If you are planning on starting work which will have an effect on the party wall you must get your neighbour’s agreement before you commence.
Lease extensions
If you own, or are about to purchase, a leasehold flat it is important that you understand the implications of being a leaseholder. Rather than owning the building, or part of it, you have a contract with the landlord giving you conditional ownership for a fixed period of time.
The period of time that remains unexpired on the lease has a significant effect on its value. A flat with a short lease can be difficult to sell.
Buying a freehold
If you live in a leasehold flat you may be able to buy the freehold of your building, in conjunction with the other leaseholders, provided that you meet certain criteria.
The process is known as collective enfranchisement and involves the participating leaseholders forming a company which will act as the nominee purchaser.
