As these are purpose built in large numbers and Leasehold, does anyone know who generally owns the freeholds?
For example, large mansion blocks in London may be owned by the Duke of Westminster or Grosvenor Properties - I know they also own many regional properties too.
As these maisonettes were all built long before recent leasehold legislation - who generally owns the freeholds? Is it usally a local builder/development company of the era?
Anyone know what the maintenance charges are usually like, ground rent etc.
Usual lease lengths and so on? 999 years or 125 or 99 years.
Question arises because I have seen a lot of them for sale where I am looking and would like a bit of background on what it's like to live in one.
I haven't as yet, seen any that are described as share of freehold and wonder if that's just coincidence or whether they are uniquely leased in some way.
