Sky connection in Flat

Hi

Does anyone know how I can determine if the block of flats I am moving into has a communal disk or each flat can have an individual dish?

Would it be stipulated in the lease agreement?

Thanks for any feeback

Regards
Stressed First Time Buyer.

    Have you looked at the property? Are there small dishes on the walls or a large dish on the roof?

    Our lease didn't say anything about cable / satellite.

    As the previous poster said, go and have a look at the outside of the block. The Virgin cables are easy to spot and we had communal Sky dishes added last year and these cables/cable boxes are also very clear (Sky like you to be able to spot them :cool:)

    Ask the managing agents or look at the lease. Or (shock horror) ask another resident?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
