HELP ME!

[mavischeek1]

Hi All, I am wondering if someone can help me.

I own a share of a freehold, the property is a large house converted into 3 flats. I do not own any of the flats, just half the freehold. The woman that owns the other half of the freehold owns the basement and middle flat which she rents out. There is only 60 years lease left on both of her flats. The woman that owns the flat I used to own, the balcony flat at the top of the house owns obviously just the leasehold and that lease is 80 years. I want to sell my half of the freehold but and this is where I am getting confused...do I have to sell to the woman that owns the other half of the freehold or can I offer it to the woman who owns the leasehold of the flat I used to own? I am asking because I have offered the freehold (my share) to the other woman that owns half the freehold and she is ignoring me...which seems daft but I don't know enough to know where I am with this...all answers and advice hugely appreciated

You can sell your share to anyone you want

Really? I was informed I had to offer to the other freeholder first and then then the other leaseholders in the building? so that is not the case?

Did you offer it in writing? If so, you've got proof that you offered if to her first.

Do you have legal cover with your home or car insurance, or your breakdown cover? If not, could you get free 30 minutes with a solicitor, or even the CAB?

Please don't go to the CAB about this. They're a charity set up to help people in serious situations who don't have the resources to go elsewhere. They have far more demand than they can cope with, before people start throwing commercial property transactions their way.

(Not suggesting you would OP, responding to an earlier suggestion)

I do have proof she was offered first, it was offered via my solicitor but as far as I am aware she has 12 months to make a decision - not going to CAB btw :-)
