If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Peterborough in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on such a house.

The best form of lease arrangement is if the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees have being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is frequently employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants. In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Peterborough require tenants to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. Best to be warned if changing the roof or some other significant cost is due shortly to be shared between the tenants and will materially impact the level of the service fees or necessitate a one off payment.
