Many Cullompton leasehold properties will have a service bill for maintenance of the block set by the landlord. Where you acquire the property you will have to pay this contribution, usually in instalments throughout the year. This may differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a large amount, say around £50-£100 but you need to check it because occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds. The best form of lease arrangement is where the freehold interest is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this situation the tenants benefit from control and although a managing agent is usually employed if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. It would be sensible to discover as much as you can regarding the managing agents as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to practical issues like the tidiness of the common parts. You should not be shy to ask prospective neighbours what they think of their management. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and specifically what it includes.
