    Landlord insurance

    Hi, this may be an obvious question, but I own a share of the freehold in a Victorian house conversion. The split is 1/3 and 2/3 between the two freeholders. I have been sorting out the insurance and have billed the other freeholder for 2/3 but they say it should be 66%, which works out slightly cheaper. I would really appreciate some clarity on this matter. Thanks

    It is usually stated in the lease what contribution the flat must pay to service charge account and building's insurance .

      Quote EXACT wording of split in HIS lease please,
      I am legally unqualified: If you need to rely on advice check it with a suitable authority - eg a solicitor specialising in landlord/tenant law...

        Originally I had the entire freehold but this was split when I sold my flat. This lease says 66.66% as they have 2 floors. The basement lease, formed in 1984 says 1/3

          Not sure why there is an issue. 66.66666666% it is

            When you send a bill to demand payment , you should state the exact amount you want .

            Its no good to demand 66.66% and get paid 66%.

              I am a Director of an RMC and the Freeholder insists it is their right to arrange the insurance. Have I the same right as an RTM to take over the arrangement of insurance?

              This is a very usual arrangement where the freeholder pockets all the gains, i.e., ground rent and insurance (possibly including a large commission) and the RMC is responsible for managing all the repair and maintenance obligations (either by self managing or appointing a managing agent).

              If the total gains are below the Annual Exemption and total proceeds does not exceed four times the Annual Exemption, you are not required to report the matter to HMRC

              However, as I suspected the company held the freehold in trust for you, you should have reported the ground rent income...

              Hi, I hope I can write this in a clear way that makes sense!

              We bought a leaseholders flat in 2016, the next year we bought the limited company that held the freehold. This was done as no other leaseholder were interested in buying the freehold a few months prior to us buying our leasehold...

              You have said exactly what the accountants said to us today. Basically the freehold was never added to the limited company as an asset (before we bought it) and as such it would just be cgt that was due and as its only 8k no cgt is due. They said not to bother with a return for it. We are having the...

              I manage a property with four flats. The landlord owns the freehold for the flats and is also the leaseholder for the two downstairs flats.

              The leasehold of the two upstairs flats is owned by someone else who employs a managing agent. The managing agent has contacted me about an issue...

              Many thanks for your responses.

              I did deal with the query. It just seemed excessive to ask me to get involved.

              Thanks again for the information about meters.

              It is.

              On reflection the covenant may not be enforceable as it is a covenant by the tenant with the landlord. It will only be enforceable if your lease gives you the right to require the landlord to enforce the covenants in the other lease. That will though lead to a bit of a conundrum...
