Shared Freehold - Structural survey / repair costs
Shared
Posts: 1 Newbie
HI,
We own the ground floor flat in a converted house. We have a shared freehold with the people who own the flat above us.
I know that we are jointly responsible for many repair costs of common areas eg the roof.
My question is that if the flat above is now showing some structural issues (Cracks around the place, doors not closing properly etc) and our ground floor flat is not, are we jointly responsible for the cost of getting a surveyor in and the subsequent repairs to their flat?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
