Hope somebody will be able to help me
I own a flat in a block of 2 and we have recently completed the purchase of the Freehold which has taken 4 years! It was an absentee Landlord situation and he has never been found and the money was paid into the Court.
In the back garden there are 2 garages, one belongs to my flat and the other has obviously been sold off in the past to the house at the back of the flats. As the owner of the garage did not want to get involved in the purchasing of the Freehold the LVT stipulated that this area be excluded from the Freehold purchase. However just after completion of the Feehold purchase I have now bought the garage and lease which has 74 years left to run.
Am I now entitled to buy the Freehold of the garage ? If so can I buy it in my own right or do I have to buy it through the Company that we set up to buy the original Freehold. The original Solicitor has quoted £800 to do this further work but another Solicitor has told me informally that He did not think I have the right to buy.
Any help would be much appreciated.
