Leaseholders
If you buy your flat or maisonette from the
Council, you become a leaseholder. This means that while you own
the property, the Council continues to own the Freehold.
The Council remains responsible for the
maintenance of the structure and common parts of the block of flats
or maisonettes. Under the terms of your lease, you are required to
pay service charges towards these costs and any major works
contracts that are carried out.
Comprehensive information and guidance for
leaseholders is available in the leaseholders
handbook
