Freehold property with leasehold garages

27-12-2021, 21:21 PM

Good evening

I recently purchased a property which is a flat over 4 garages. I own the whole building and 3 of the garages are leased out to other tennants (the other is mine).
I have been told I can claim a portion of the insurance costs back from the tennants as I have to cover the insurance for the garages as part of my property.
Would anyone know how best to go about this? I wasn't even made aware of this until after I purchased the property and I don't want any complications!

Also, one of the tennants has an electric car charger in the garage which hums really loudy underneath my bedroom. Is there any way I can get a clause on the charger put into the leasehold agreement?

Thanks

Do the leases for the garages state that you can collect service charges?

Tennants is a brand of Scottish lager. A tenant is what you have. Read your leases and then you will know what the deal is.........

Assume everything is legitimate. No other concerns.
Is an invoice which only states sum required and no other details valid ?

Obviously to buy directors new cars would not be permitted ( attempting humour ). None of this is really important.

Effectively, you have the opportunity to change anything within the leases of the nine participants that you all agree to - as long as this won't affect/contradict anything in the leases of the two flats who aren't participating (although parts of their leases can potentially be changed as well if all...

In the process of buying freehold for our building. 9 participants (from 11 flats).

Should new Freeholders self-manage freehold or engage a managing agent?

by Hansi

Myself and 7 other flats in an 8 flat building have just exchanged on the purchase of the freehold.

When the landlord offered the sale of the freehold we jumped at the chance because the landlord has always been extremely difficult, has often organised shoddily done work to the building...

It really does matter.
If a leaseholder is being charged a "levy" then what that "levy" is for is directly relevant - without knowing additional details no one can do more than guess whether that "levy" can be charged at all, let alone what details may need to be...

Share of feehold/shared service charges?

by Stu1020

Hi there,

I'm new to the forum and looking for advice on a sticky freehold situation.

I own a two-bed flat in a converted building with two one-beds. The lease states that a fair proportion is payable towards the service charge. However, there has been a running agreement of...
