    Seperating flat into two properties

    Hi, Does anyone have experience or know whether it is feasible to split a 3 bedroom maisonette leasehold property into 2 legally separate properties

    Presumably there would be a planning issue, and would require freeholder consent. However there are 5 flats in the block and all our leases refer to paying one fifth of landlord expenditure..how would that work with one extra flat?

    The flat was a 1 bed but the basement was converted some 5 years ago and is now a 3 bedroom property. The original lease and extra demised area was amended via deed of variation.

    This is the important question, what are the reasons for non payment?

    Have demands been correctly served including the correct summaries of rights and obligations?

    Are the landlord obligations under the lease being carried out?

    Have service charge end of year accounts...

    Is there a restrictive covenant in the title of the commercial-property owner (CPO) giving you and the other lessee a right of way over the land?

    Is the CPO a freeholder or leaseholder of the land?

    With regard to the point related to '20 years' you are referring to adverse...

    The RTM can make a money claim online but as this enquiry concerns service charges the lessee will have the right to have the service charges determined unless already agreed. Depending upon the lessee's response to the claim, the County Court may refer the claim to the FTT.

    What are the...

  • Recurrent leaks from flat upstairs
    by Ldawg
    The flat I rent out has suffered from recurrent leaks from upstairs since I purchased it, 4 leaks in 4 years. It's caused me to lose one tenant already. I feel like there is no incentive for the owner upstairs to sort the problem (check the plumbing etc) as the cost is always covered by insurance and...

    Thanks for your response.

    All costs are being covered by the management company. So currently I'm not actually losing out so I'm not really sure what I'm claiming for! More just the stress of it all. And the potential loss of earning and making unrentable/saleable as you say. Yes the floor...

    Hoping to get some clarification,

    If a flat (Outside Greater London) with 60 years left is sold for £110,000 and comparable properties with longer leases attain £160,000

    What is the relativity in this case?

    Would it be £110000 less 5.5% (to estimate for no act...

    Are the management company paying for all the damage via the blocks buildings insurance or is this down to you ? Given how long it has gone on i think you will need to take individual legal action against the landlord of the flat above, what else is there is they have no incentive to fix anything. ...
