                    I am one of three flatowners who have just purchased the freehold of our  property (converted house). We need an account in which to keep monthly  contributions for insurance, upkeep, etc. We do not want a busness a/c  ... just a free current or savings a/c, preferably with all three names  on it. Big banks say we can have only two names. Any suggestions?

            HSBC do a Community Account, you have to hunt very hard on their website to find details but it is there

            try this link http://www.business.hsbc.co.uk/1/2/business-banking/business-bank-accounts/community-account#maincontent
 Though I agree with YorkshireBoy.
 What would the advantages be of having an account with the other two owners?0

            We do not wish to pay a managing agent, and therefore would like a cheque account for our regular contributions for electricity, maintenance, insurance etc, and in which to put money for big bills such as exterior redecoration as and when needed. If we have a fund, we don't have to chase one another each time money is needed.0
