    When i bought the flat it was leasehold so the lease has converted to a freehold 999 lease!--i am now a shareholder in the freehold company.
    mfw'11 No68- 55k mortgage İO--little to nothing saved! i must do better.

    But you are still subject to the terms of the lease, they are two completely different things. It's the same set up with have (each flat owner has one share in the freehold company).

    Another thing to think about is it's not just the noise of people walking on wooden floors but carpet also absorbs general noise in a room. so with a wooden floor the general noise will also be increased. We have wood down throughout downstairs in our house as well as a bedroom and the bathroom and the rooms are definitely more "echoey".

    Would cork flooring be an option.
