Most Wroxham leasehold properties will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the building levied by the management company. Should you purchase the flat you will have to pay this amount, normally in instalments during the year. This may vary from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal areas. There will also be a rentcharge to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a significant figure, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it can be prohibitively expensive. It is important to be aware whether changing the roof or some other major work is coming up that will be shared amongst the leasehold owners and will dramatically impact the level of the service fees or result in a one time invoice. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments?
