    Have you checked the freehold title and site plan are correct ? Both items can be purchased for £3 each by credit card and downloaded from Land Registry Online ?

    Is your company buying the freehold title without mortgage ? What is the reason for such a large difference in price for the same work ?

    I would choose a local law firm which has been established for a few years.

        Thanks for the replies, so I've had a quick look online to. See how long the lease is on the other flat, she seems to have about 63yrs remaining so the cost to try a purchase the freehold myself is a no go.

        I will write and request the insurance info and try and go down that route. Is there...

        It requires both flats in a building with 2 flats ) to participate in compulsory freehold purchase. See last sentence in section 2 in the free guide.

        If the buildings insurance is £800 per flat, you are probably...

        I would check how long is downstairs lease.
        and then would run the estimated costs freehold on lease calculator.
        And go from there.

        We are a first floor flat, share of freehold with the ground floor flat. We both have a 999 year lease. In 2014 we did a loft conversion. We had a party wall agreement with the other share of freeholder flat, planning permission and it has all been signed off by building control. However, should we...

        Be wary of such a recently let property being offered for sale as an investment.
        It's common practice to put a 'tenant' in at a nice return to make a sale (higher sale price).
        Check demand and comparable area rents carefully.

        That vendr is selling with tenant may indicate he can;t evict (usually higher price/easier sale if vacant).

        As tenant (yes tenant, what vendor or agent or solicitor state may be perhaps not trustworthy..) when they 1st moved in.

        If early enough, regardless of any shiny new...

        Firstly this is not a 'Sitting Tenant' - that refers to a tenant protected under a regulated tenancy and is a very different kettle of fish! This tenant has a Periodic Tenancy.

        Assuming they want to stay I would be looking to sign a new tenancy agreement on completion and issuing all new...
